![Stripe Sessions 2024](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/998wtlnx5fjn9ov47sv4.png)

[Stripe Sessions](http://stripesessions.com), our biggest user conference yet, is coming to San Francisco this April. Join us and fellow members of the developer community for two packed days of learning and collaboration.   

Sessions is a perfect opportunity to get [hands-on developer training](https://register.stripesessions.com/developer-tools-training) with the latest Stripe tools like [Workbench](http://workbench.stripe.dev), hear new product announcements, and watch ambitious live demos. While there’s so much to look forward to, the chat between Nvidia's Jensen Huang and our own Patrick Collison is top of my list. 

I hope you can make it—make sure to use the code `Developer50` for 50% off your conference pass.

### Updates

**Get answers from Stripe Docs AI:**  Ask [Stripe Docs](http://docs.stripe.com) questions and get GPT-powered responses—available for all logged-in users.

**Use Connect onboarding components:** [Connect account onboarding components](https://docs.stripe.com/connect/supported-embedded-components#account-onboarding) are now available for React or HTML embeds to onboard customers in [46 supported countries](https://stripe.com/global).

**Set Issuing card PINs:** All cards issued by Stripe Issuing now have PINs; set a card's initial PIN during [card creation](https://docs.stripe.com/api/issuing/cards/create#create_issuing_card-pin) with the pin[encrypted_number] field. 

**Reach Swedish customers with Swish:** We now support Swish, Sweden's most popular finance app, as a [real-time payment method](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/real-time#product-country-support). You can turn on automatic currency conversion to always have the latest payment methods optimized for your customers.  

**Simplify end-of-month billing cycles:** The Subscription Create API [billing_cycle_anchor_config](https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-billing_cycle_anchor_config) parameter sets the billing cycle anchor by using only the desired month and day. You can now set billing dates during short months or, for instance, an upcoming leap day with ease.

**Instantiate StripeClient in the Python SDK:** [Stripe-python v8.0.0](https://github.com/stripe/stripe-python/releases/tag/v8.0.0) introduced StripeClient, upgrading from a single global configuration to enable multiple thread-safe instances.
