Call for Proposal Reviewers of PyCon APAC 2023

Hello, I'm Peacock, the Vice-Chair of PyCon APAC 2023.

We are looking for people to review proposals for PyCon APAC 2023 with us.

As I recently announced on this blog, we opened the call for proposals.

Unfortunately, there is a limit to the number of sessions we can accept for a two-day conference.

Therefore, we must review and accept or reject proposals that are submitted.

PyCon JP, the organizing body for PyCon APAC 2023, reviews proposals from various perspectives before accepting them.

However, a review by the conference volunteers alone can lead to a somewhat biased selection, so we hope to expand the pool of reviewers for a wider range of viewpoints.

It is essential to examine proposals from different perspectives and obtain a balance from various opinions to create dialogue and connections among the participants.

While high-quality and enthusiastic proposals are significant, review perspectives from professionals in various fields are also necessary.

By participating in the review of proposals, you can broaden your knowledge and insight about Python, and ensure a vibrant and exciting selection of talks at the conference.

Join us and be a part of the making of PyCon APAC 2023.

If you are interested, please apply using the reviewer application form here!

Of course, we also welcome reviews focused on specific areas (Python core, web, machine learning, etc.), meaning you do not need to review all proposals.

We will invite you to our Slack PyCon JP workspace # 2023-reviewers channel and announce detailed instructions on conducting a review on that channel.

We will review all proposals, including Talks, Posters, Lightning Talks, and Tutorials.

The review period is from the publication of this Blog to June 17.

Then, on June 18 (Sun.), we will hold an acceptance meeting and make the final selection of proposals.

Participation in the adoption meeting is not mandatory, but highly encouraged.

(Added May 31): Because the start of the review was delayed beyond schedule, the review period was extended to July 2, and the adoption meeting was also postponed to July 9.

We are waiting for your application as a reviewer and appreciate your support!
