Stories from the PyCon US Hotels

"One story stands out to me beyond getting to know each other and sharing ideas. When I was getting ready to give my first PyCon talk in Montreal, Selena Deckelmann offered to help review my slides and listen to me practice. We spent a few hours on the floor of her hotel room prepping while her very young daughter crawled around on the floor and chewed on my PyCon badge since she was teething. It's still one of my favorite PyCon and PyLadies memories." - Carol Willing, Willing Consulting
