The Black Python Devs Leadership Summit is a Single Day workshop where leaders in the Python Community are invited to connect, grow, and learn with one another.
We are happy to announce the 2026 Black Python Devs Leadership Summit on July 24 2026, the day before PyOhio, at the PyOhio venue - Cleveland State University Student Center in Cleveland, OH.
This is done in partnership with the PyOhio Organization that Black Python Devs has been proud to support for several years.
Who is invited?
Even though Black Python Devs is the producer of this event, this event is a public event held under the Code of Conduct for Black Python Devs and PyOhio.
Anyone in leadership or wanting to get into leadership at the local, regional, or global level of the Python community and its many organizations will benefit from attending this event.
How much is it?
Free
Is there a CFP
For the first time we opened up the afternoon sessions to selected speakers from a Call for Papers (CFP). We hope to bring presentations from folks all over to energize and inform today's and tomorrow's Leaders of the Python Community.
The CFP is now closed. Thank you to everyone who submitted. Selected speakers will be notified and announced on this page.
Is there speaker reimbursement?
YES! Our Community speakers will able to reimburse travel-based expenses based on our travel support policy.
