The Sofa Zone

PyCon APAC 2015 provides a soft Sofa-Zone.

It’s a good place to take a rest between the sessions. You can chat and meet new friends there, exchange your name cards, bring a cup of tea/coffee and just sit down, or look outside the window and figure out your _future_(code). Trust me, it would be one of your favorite corner during PyCon APAC.

Workshop

Two fantastic workshops will take place on both 6/6 and 6/7. Both workshops are in English. And after your participation, you can earn a fascinating online badge.
