Already many deserving speaker proposals are out there. If I may add one name, from whose contribution my debugging time and mostly other Python developers (> 3.10) got reduced is Pablo Galindo Salgado. He is a:
Due to his (and his team's) efforts, we got better tracebacks and faster 3.10 and 3.11. As a release manager, he can give us his first hand experience and more insights on the future of Python. |

I'd like to nominate Harrison Chase. Name: Harrison Chase In the last few years, LLMs have taken the world by storm. ChatGPT is one example LLM application. As open-source models get adopted and proprietary APIs get stabilized, production and community use-cases are slowly building up. The need for interfacing with LLMs has lead to several libraries. LangChain, with first-class Python support, has emerged as a popular all-things-LLM-ops library. Harrison leads LangChain's community efforts. It'd be great to hear from him on what it means to build a library that has prolific releases (often multiple times a day), engaging the community and building emergent tools. |

I would like to nominate Ananth Packkildurai, who has gained widespread recognition for his blog DataEngineeringWeekly. Ananth has extensive knowledge of how Python is becoming increasingly prevalent in the creation of scalable Modern Data Stack architectures. Including Ananth's expertise in the conference will add a valuable dimension to the event by incorporating data, rather than making it overly focused on AI and backend topics. |
