Panel Discussion

Since 2023, Panel Discussion has become a key part of PyCon Taiwan's annual program. Through in-depth conversations between speakers and moderators, each session explores specific topics from multiple perspectives. We believe that every exchange of ideas can spark diverse thinking, broaden participants’ horizons, and deepen understanding of technology and the industry. This year, we continue this tradition by inviting experienced and renowned speakers from around the world to engage in live discussions, fostering meaningful exchanges across generations, cultures, and backgrounds.

Whether you're just starting out or are a seasoned developer, the Panel Discussion offers an ideal space to spark inspiration, expand your perspective, and connect with the community. We warmly invite you to join us for this thought-provoking dialogue and explore the deeper values and possibilities behind technology.

The Panel Discussion will be guided by a moderator and feature multiple invited speakers. Throughout the session, the moderator will pose questions based on the central theme, encouraging speakers to share their perspectives and experiences. The discussion will also engage the audience in exploring the core issues together. The session will conclude with a 10-minute Q&A segment, providing an opportunity for the audience to interact directly with the speakers.
