Hi!
I should start by introducing myself: my name is Bill Israel. 👋 I live in Nashville, TN, I work for Eventbrite, I organize the local Python meetup, and this year I've taken over organizing PyTennessee, a yearly, regional Python conference. I was reaching out to see if you'd be willing to share some information about PyTennessee in hope that women in your organization might be interested in submitting a talk to our CFP? PyTennessee has a history of being very friendly to first-time speakers and we do our best to remind *everyone* that they have knowledge worth sharing.  A conference is only as good as the speakers, and we know there are some excellent speakders in your midst!

Here's some quick info on the CFP:

- Open right now, will be closing on November 8 @ noon (CDT)
- Talks can be submitted here: https://www.pytennessee.org/proposals/submit/
- We have some proposal advice here: https://www.pytennessee.org/speaking/advice/
- We love to help people who're interested in speaking with our CFP process in whatever way(s) we can. We will help with talk ideas, review proposals, offer feedback/encouragement, etc. Just reach out to pytnconf@gmail.com for help.

If there are any questions I can answer or anything I can do to help encourage people to submit, please let me know! Thank you for your time and consideration.


- Bill

PS - here's some quick general info about this conference: PyTennessee is a regional Python conference held every year in Nashville, TN. The 2018 conference will run for 2 days (February 10 and 11, 2018), and will feature approximately 300 eager attendees, a few keynotes, 3 speaking tracks, 1 tutorial track, a killer hallway track, and a full-day Young Coders event. Every year the conference gets bigger and better, and this year--our fifth year--promises to be the best yet!
