No video was found for the Jessica McKellar / Sha Wallace-Stepter keynotes. Speakers: every talk and charla (Spanish-language track) on the talks schedule, plus individual keynote speakers. Left out: tutorials, sponsor presentations and workshops, posters, lightning talks, summits, open spaces and sprints. Group keynote sessions (the Python Steering Council panel, D&I panel, PSF update) are not listed as speakers. Affiliations come from speaker-profile bios on us.pycon.org, and only where a bio names a current employer or university outright. Otherwise they are null.
