Topics
------
1. Concurrency and Parallelism in Modern Python
Jeremy Shefer

I want to start broadly about what concurrency is, how it's implemented on the hardware level and what concurrency paradigms are available out there on various programming languages. I will then zoom into what's available in modern python. Hopefully this will give people a good understanding of the current concurrency landscape in python and how and why it came to be.
 recording release: maybe  

2. Method Binding in Python
Andrew Wingate

In this talk, we’ll explore method binding in Python. What really happens when you put a function inside a class? At first glance, it may look like just another function, but Python transforms it into a method by automatically handling the binding between the function and the class instance. 
We'll explore notions of self, some __methods__, and a little of what Python does under the hood.

Location
--------
Avant
222 W Merchandise Mart Plaza, Suite 900 Chicago, IL 60654

Directions:
Entering the Mart from the main entrance (south facing entrance on W Merchandise Mart Plaza). Take the elevators to the right of the security desk (not all elevator banks go to floor 9, so check the signage). On the 9th floor, there’s a blue Avant-branded wall visible from the elevator landing. Entry is via the glass door. You'll need to show your ID upon arrival. If you make it to the 9th floor and don't see the Avant branded wall, proceed East until you find the wall on the south end of the building
