Boston Python runs four kinds of events:
Boston Python runs several kinds of events, most of which are listed on the [Boston Python meetup page](http://bostonpython.com). RSVP there to be sure to get a spot.

- [**Office hour**](officehour.md) is a weekly hour to drop in and ask anything on your mind.
- **Presentation nights** feature presentations by members. These are technical peer-to-peer presentations. Anyone can do one! Sometimes we do [lightning talks](lightning.md).
- **Collaboration nights** are unstructured times to sit with people with similar interests, and do whatever you would like to do.
- **Python Study Group nights** feature presentations by members who are beginner-to-intermediate. Each presenter chooses a topic that they're unfamiliar with, researches it, and then teaches the group what they've learned.
- [**Office hour**](officehour.md) is a weekly hour to drop in and ask anything on your mind.

Specific events are listed on the [Boston Python meetup page](http://bostonpython.com). RSVP there to be sure to get a spot.
- **Book Discussion nights** host discussion focused on particular books. As of March 2023, this group is currently discussing **Fluent Python (2nd ed.)** on Monday evenings. (Note: this group does **not** post events on Meetup, join us on Slack to participate!)

This content will be stale at some time in the near future. Should we set an alarm to update it, or should we rewrite it without the time-dependent content so we can leave it alone?

For example, we could say something like `Book Discussions are Boston Python's book club meetings. Typically, we take our time to dig into the content, so we'll often devote a session to one chapter of a book. See the #book-discussion channel on Slack if you'd like to know more."

Perhaps we should ask Glenn to weigh in on the wording.

- **Python en Español** discusión en español sobre Python.
- **Collaboration nights** are unstructured times to sit with people with similar interests, and do whatever you would like to do.

We have a [long list of past events](past-events/index.md).
