PyCon US is just around the corner. I've asked Rob Ludwick to come on the show to discuss how to get the most out of your PyCon experience. There's a lot to do. A lot of activities to juggle, including actual juggling, which is where we start the conversation.

Even if you never get a chance to go to PyCon, I hope this interview helps you get a feel for the welcoming aspect of the Python community.

I recorded this interview as an episode for one of my other podcasts, Python People. But I think it's got some great pre-conference advice, so I'm sharing it here on Python Test as well.

We talk about:
- Juggling at PyCon
- How to get the most out of PyCon
- Watching talks
- Hallway track
- Open spaces
- Lightening talks
- Expo hall / vendor space
- Poster sessions
- Job fair
- A welcoming community
- Tutorials
- Sprints
- But mostly about the people of Python and PyCon.

"Python enables smart people to work faster" - Rob Ludwick
