PyBay Scholarships

PyBay couldn't happen without the strong support of our Sponsors. However, even with their generosity, many people aren't able to attend PyBay without the backing of our generous Scholarship Partners.

We’re truly grateful that last year’s four Scholarship Partners enabled 11 of the 90+ scholarship applicants to attend PyBay. However, that left many people who needed assistance unable to attend, and we expect even more applicants this year.

Scholarship Partners

In the spirit of increasing the Python community’s inclusivity and diversity, we hope you'll consider joining the ranks of those companies supporting the 2017 PyBay Scholarship Partner program.

Infoscout is Making Retail Data Useful.

Smartphone technology is fundamentally changing our lives while creating new opportunities for brands and retailers to reach consumers. As a result, data about our activities, interactions, and opinions has never been more readily available, yet data about how these factors influence our real-world shopping decisions has never been harder to get.

Culture Our engineering hurdles sit at the intersection of technologies ranging from mobile and social media, computer vision and crowdsourcing, to machine learning and big data analytics. We're always looking to meet people to help us harness these technologies whether they work at the company or just want to contribute/leverage some of our open source. We also generally just try to be nice and have a good time in SF.
