CarpentryCon 2020 is a key networking and community building event in The Carpentries’ annual calendar. The program is filled with events that will allow the participants to network, build community and skill up their technical skills all at once. The event will be held in Madison, Wisconsin, in the United States and you do not want to miss it!
Throughout the conference the attendees will be focusing on “Growing Inclusive, Computational Communities and Leaders”. The exact program is still being finalised, but an outline of the sessions is available on the CarpentryCon 2020 website and there will be announcements in the next month about our keynote speakers and which sessions have been chosen.
