We all know #PyOhio is great, but what can you do with the new friends you just met? #Cleveland has some great places to visit!
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is big, but did you know there's the Greater Cleveland Aquarium, Cleveland Botanical Garden, and several museums? What's your favorite?

On the middle, righthand side of the snake is the year, 2025, and on the bottom lefthand side is PyOhio. The artists signature, JMW, is in small lettering on the right hand side of the snake, a bit higher up than the word "PyOhio" on the logo.

#PyOhio Open Spaces Signup is right outside the room, 313, near ballroom A

Open Spaces can be anything you'd like to host. Just think of something you'd like to chat about, and reserve a space and interested folks will join!
The PyOhio Signup for Open Spaces To the center left there's a posterboard with rows of timeslots for Saturday and Sunday, where people can tack on their open space ideas. On the bottom is a sign for Room 313 Open Spaces, and just above it is a table with notecards, markers, and thumbtacks. On the edge of the center right is a room sign that reads, Meeting Room, 313. And in raised text on the wall off in the background it reads, "The Alumni Association of the Huron Road Hospital School of Nursing Conference Room"
