Several pandas maintainers will join the Python Dataframe Summit 2023 to discuss the future of dataframes: https://df-summit-23.pydata.org/

Major sponsors of the participating projects like #pandas are invited to join the discussions.

pandas 2.3 has been released, most likely the last pandas version before pandas 3.0.

It can be installed as usual from pip and conda-forge. The release notes with the changes are available at: https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/whatsnew/v2.3.0.html
