##  [Ansys Developer at PyCon 2024](/pycon-24) 

#### Key Events

Come visit us during the exposition at **Booth #101** for hands-on Ansys labs, Ansys giveaways, booth talks in our theatre, or to discuss anything Ansys Developer. We'll also be joined by our partners [CADFEM](https://www.cadfem.net/en/home.html) and [SimuTech Group](https://simutechgroup.com/).

##### **Hands-on Labs**

This year we have hands-on labs at our booth, and will be giving away prizes for those that give us a few minutes of time to share your feedback on using our developer tools. Come experience the broad capabilities simulation offers first-hand and take home some sweet loot for your efforts.

- Build a bridge? Sure!
- Simulate CPU cooling? YEP!
- Simulate the perfect free-throw form? Yep, we got that.
- Simulate giving an uncooperative cat a bath? OH HECK YES!
- And a whole bunch more that you can try yourself!
