At #PyLadiesCon 2024, our volunteers did a lot of work such as: video production and editing, translation, and transcribing. Other conferences work AV team, but PyLadiesCon didn't. It was all volunteers and a lot of work.

This year, we're trying to ease volunteer overwork, so we contacted AV vendor, asked what it would cost them to do all of this.
One vendor said 8K - 13K USD 😵

Moral of the story:
- Say thanks to volunteers.
- Sponsor conferences.
The end.

PyLadiesCon CFP is now open! I'd love to see more Vancouver and Canadian PyLadies members to submit a talk and present.

If you're feeling unsure, just need some encouragement, or want to discuss talk ideas, feel free to message me and let's chat.

We're sad that Denny Perez couldn't be with us at PyCon US, but she's been participating through the photos and videos we sent her, and she's been continuing to post for PyLadiesCon social media accounts.

We left this message for her and if you want to share a message for her too, we're sure she'll appreciate it. Thanks Denny for everything you do!
