Volunteering at PyCascades

PyCascades is a conference that is staffed and run solely by volunteers. Without our wonderful community (including folks like you!) we would not be able to make PyCascades a delightful experience.

Each year we ask our attendees to get involved and help us make this event successful. These positions are purely volunteer- we unfortunately can not offer free admittance or other compensation to our volunteers, however, we are committed to providing financial assistance to people who might otherwise be unable to attend.
