About PyLadiesCon

✨ PyLadiesCon is an online conference for the global PyLadies community. Our conference began in 2023. During our conference, we host 24 hours of online engagement, talks, keynotes, panels, and workshops for our community members. We strive of inclusivity and accessibility, providing talks in multiple-languages, and we take extra care in subtitling and translating our talks. Our conference is free to attend, and attendees can optionally donate to our conference.

Being an online, multi-language, multi-timezone conference, we face unique and different challenges from other types of events and conferences. Our organizers are all volunteers from different part of the world. We have many communications and coordinations with our team of volunteers ahead of the conference, and less during the conference itself.

Challenges in managing our online conference

🤕 Our organizing team collaborate with each other to manage our volunteers, our speakers, and our sponsors. Each team also collaborate with our design and media team to produce promotional assets. For the last 2 years, we manage a lot of our assets and information using spreadsheets and Google Forms. However, managing and sharing data with various volunteers using spreadsheets have been challenging, and causing frustrations and confusions among our team of volunteers.

What we're building: PyLadiesCon Web Portal

💻 This year, we are developing an online web portal for us to manage the behind the scenes work of our conference. Instead of spreadsheets, we will be accepting volunteer sign ups and sponsorship sign ups through our web portal. Our team leads will be assigning task and tracking team progress through the web portal. We also want to build a conference dashboard to provide overview and statistics about our conference.
