​¶

Pytanis includes a Pretalx client and all the tooling you need for conferences using Pretalx, from handling the initial call for papers to creating the final program.

Trivia: The name Pytanis is a reference to Prytanis using the typical py prefix of Python tools. Prytanis was the name given to the leading members of the government of a city (polis) in ancient Greece. Offices that used this title usually had responsibility for presiding over councils of some kind, which met in the Prytaneion. Romani ite domum!
