I participated last year's PyBay 2016 and it was a great all around event. May of us had a great time chatting out with with Armin Ronacher (Flask creator) in the lobby area of the UCSF conference center. You never know who you meet and have a chance to interact. In the conference I met a few people whose libraries I have been using for years..
