JuliaCon 2025 is set to take place at David Lawrence Hall at the University of Pittsburgh, named after David L. Lawrence, a Pitt trustee from 1945 to 1966 who was also Governor of Pennsylvania (from 1959 to 1963) and Pittsburgh’s mayor from 1946 to 1959. Workshops, talks, and the poster session are set to take place here.
Every year, JuliaCon hosts an informal hackathon on the Saturday after JuliaCon. This year, the venue for the hackathon is the Cohon University Center on Forbes Avenue.
