PyCon UK 2018

I am lucky enough to be back at PyCon UK again this year, https://2018.pyconuk.org/.  Lots of talks, workshops and there are sprints to follow.  One of the most inclusive and friendly technical conferences I have ever attended, I am glad to be back again this year.  I will be adding write ups for the sessions I attend here: https://asset.blogs.bris.ac.uk/tag/pyconuk2018/
