+## Profile Speakers
+
+This year 30 members of Computer Society attended PyCon 2023 in the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel Dublin.  
+PyCon is an international conference about the programming language Python.  
+There are several PyCon conferences run in Europe each year, with the Dublin one being one of the largest ones.  
+As such there is a large variety of top tier and distinguished presenters.  
+While it is a two day event we were only able to attend the Saturday of it.   
+
+
+### Pablo Galindo Salgado
+#### The snake of Theseus
+Pablo was the keynote speaker for Saturday of this conference.  
+His presentation was focusing on how the language itself has changed over time, so much so that the original code has all been replaced.  
+Yet it is still Python.   
+Even with Countless contributors over the years Python has changed, yet remained the same.  
+Different syntax, personalities and methodologies have contributed to shaping the language to what it is today and inspiring it forwards into the future.

+
+### Mia Bajić
+#### The Standard Library TourK
+Mia is a regular speaker at Python Conferences as well as co-organising the Prague PyCon in 2023.
+
+Her talk was aimed at enlightening attendees by informing them of the tools they did not know they needed, the unknown unknowns.  
+She opened up the powerful functions and methods contained within the inbuilt library to show us what we had been missing before now.  
+It was quite interesting seeing the emotions flash through the audience when folks realised that there were inbuilt and easier ways to handle objects and arrays.  
+Everyone left the lecture hall knowing far more than they entered.

+
+### Rodrigo Girão Serrão
+#### How to implement a Python-like programming language
+Rodrigo is an educator for mathematics and Python, particularly in the area of data processing and analysis.
+
+His main section in the conference was a workshop on how to create a new programming language by using Python.  
+This was an engaging introduction to compilers, a topic that is only covered by Computer Science in 4th year.  
+Within the two hours participants had constructed a small functional language and were given the tools/knowledge to work on it further.
+Several of the attendees from our group have continued to work on their own language, taking inspiration from this workshop

+
+### Steve Holden
+#### The death of PyCon
+Steve is the founder of PyCon.  
+He has been the Chairman and a director of the Python Foundation.
+
+He had the honor of opening the Lightning Talks for the conference.  
+Lightning Talks are 5 minute presentations where anyone can volunteer to present.  
+
+His chosen topic was ``The Death of PyCon`` where he outlined tat community run events die if all the attendees stand back and watch.  
+The way forward is to roll up your sleeves and pitch in, in doing so it is a far better experience for all involved.
