It originated in the United States but is also held in many other countries that have active Python developer communities. PyCon Balkan is the first PyCon conference in the Balkan region and it is organized by Python Belgrade organization, which has a long history of organizing Python meetups in Belgrade. PyCon Balkan will deal with a wide range of topics related to the Python programming language, especially those which have not been discussed in such open forum and in such detail in the Balkans until now. Our goal is to help participants discover new Python technologies, expand the community in the region and become a meeting point for Balkan programmers, students and companies interested in the Python programming language.
