What’s inside the Positron Lounge Experience

At posit::conf(2025), the Positron Lounge is where Positron, our free, next-generation IDE for data science, comes to life. It’s not just a demo booth or a swag pit stop—it’s your hands-on playground to test, tweak, and explore everything Positron has to offer.
Stop by the lounge to:
- Get hands-on: Explore Positron through an interactive demo on one of our laptops, or let our team help you set up Positron for free on your own machine.
- Meet the creators: Ask questions, share ideas, and get insights directly from the folks who built the tools you love—or are about to fall for.
- Learn what makes Positron unique: Discover the vision behind Positron and what makes it different from other code editors and IDEs.
That’s not all the Positron goodness we have at conf! Join us for various talks related to this new IDE, such as:
- Exploring Datasets in Positron with Wes McKinney
- Tips & tricks from the maintainers of Positron with Sharon Wang
- IDE-ntity Crisis: Choosing the Right Tool for Me with Isabel Zimmerman
- Positron for Babies with Ryan Johnson
Check out the full agenda, or use the Agenda Chat Bot to explore the sessions with the help of AI.
Whether you’re curious to try a new coding tool, or want to connect with the team behind it—this is the space for you.
Join us at posit::conf, September 16-18 in Atlanta!
