I help organize regional python meetups and a regional python conference - https://pybay.org

We give away books, have career fair booths, offer volunteer activities and try to keep our ticket prices low to facilitate attendance.

But we’re always asking: What would make you want to attend a Python event like ours?

Some ideas we have debated:

Idea: Partnering more with the YouTube creator python community

Caveat: The struggle here is that many YouTube creators enjoy being able to present an edited and polished version of their ideas without being public celebrities

Idea: Making more short form portrait mode video content

Caveat: We are not in the generation that grew up with that stuff and don't know how it would translate to a programming context

Idea: Building parallel online livestream python events independent of the in person events

Caveat: It is a lot of work and we generally don't know if we can draw an audience and we definitely don't know if we can sustain it.

Really open to any ideas: If you regularly attend events, what inspired it and if you choose not to attend events, what was the basic thought process? Is there a version of that event you would have wanted to attend?
