PyLadies × R-Ladies Vancouver Lightning Talks

Wed, 19 Aug 2026 18:00:00 -0700

PyLadies Vancouver and R-Ladies Vancouver are teaming up for a night of lightning talks: short talks from speakers in both communities. Come for a fast, friendly mix of Python and R, ideas, tools, and stories, all in bite-sized form. We’ll be at VISST from 6 to 8 PM.

We’re looking for speakers 🎤

This is a call for lightning talks, and we’d love to hear from you. We’re looking for short presentations, 5 to 15 minutes long, from speakers in either community, PyLadies or R-Ladies. It’s the lowest-pressure way to get on stage.
