PCD @ Los Angeles is an inclusive event that will bring together people of all ages to celebrate and explore art, code, and activism. Taking place at UCLA Broad Art Center on January 19, 2019, the day-long event features four themed-tracks — Accessibility, Disability, and Care; Radical Pedagogy; Under the Silicon, the Beach! and Epic Play! A full list of lightning talk speakers and session organizers is available at day.processing.org. Conference passes can be purchased through Eventbrite.

Processing is a free and open-source software platform for code within the context of the visual arts, created by Casey Reas and Ben Fry. It is complemented by a web version, called p5.js, created by Lauren McCarthy. To date, Processing and p5.js are used by a worldwide community of artists, coders, educators, and students.
