Spokane Python User Group

Hello Spokane Python community!
As we wrap up another year of building, learning, debugging, and creating together, let’s take a moment to simply gather, relax, and reconnect.

This month, there’s no agenda and no presentation—just a casual hangout with the Spokane Python User Group and other local tech groups. Whether you’re a Python pro, a newcomer, a designer, a hardware tinkerer, or just tech-curious, you’re welcome to join the conversation.

Come share your wins from the year, your funniest bug stories, or just enjoy good company with folks who get excited about the same nerdy things you do.

RSVP to let us know you're coming, and join us as we close out the year with community, conversation, and good vibes.
Looking forward to seeing you there! 🎉🐍

Come hang out, sip something tasty, and code with friends!
Every first Monday, the Spokane Python User Group gathers at a local coffee shop for a super-casual meetup. Bring a project, bring a question, or just bring yourself—whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned dev, you’re welcome here.
We usually snag the big round table in the back, so look for the friendly folks with laptops and caffeine. Come say hi and join the conversation!

• 2026 Tech Ahead: What does the rest of the year hold? We'll have a casual, open discussion about the trends, tools, and topics we anticipate will dominate 2026. Will AI go deeper? Will a new framework dethrone a classic? What should we be learning next? Come ready to share your takes!
