⌛ Get Your Ticket Before Prices Increase

We know that many of you have already purchased tickets (thank you!) but a quick reminder to those who have yet to do so: ticket prices will increase on June 26th and our Late Bird prices will apply, so if you’re thinking of coming, it definitely makes sense to secure your ticket before then! 

👉 Purchase your tickets today on the EuroPython 2026 website: https://ep2026.europython.eu/tickets/

💻 Remote Ticket Sales

If you are joining us remotely this year, just a heads up that remote sales will start next Monday, 15th June. The tickets will be available to purchase on our website as soon as Monday rolls around!

🎂 25 Years of EuroPython

We are celebrating 25 years of EuroPython this year (I know, we can’t believe it either!), and we have a few fun things planned to make it special, including a chance to win a free ticket - which you can transfer to someone else, if you’ve already got yours!

📜 The Oldest Badge Contest

Are you one of those people who keeps your badges from previous conferences? It might be about to pay off: we will be having a contest to find the Oldest EuroPython Badge amongst all attendees this year! Dig around in your drawers, boxes, attic or other archive and find the oldest EuroPython badge (with your name on it…) that you can. Whoever has the oldest will win the contest!

🎫 Free Ticket Competition: Your EuroPython Experiences

We’re running a competition - open to anyone who has attended EuroPython in the past - who can record a short video telling us about their most impactful EuroPython experience! The competition is open to anyone who has attended EuroPython before, and is really easy to enter. No need for anything very fancy: just record yourself talking and tell us why your particular experience at EuroPython made such an impact on you.

The competition will be closing on June 21st (extended!), so you’ve still got plenty of time to enter.

👉 For the details, see the entry form: https://forms.gle/WNPErwWtpE1oPVhD9 

💭 Taking a Trip Down Memory Lane

Finally, we thought you might appreciate a little video we’ve posted on YouTube recently: Jonathan Hartley spoke to us at PyCon US about one of his favourite EuroPython experiences of the past:

🦄 Django Girls Workshop Sign Up

We are sure many of you are already aware of Django Girls and the great work that they do in making Python and Django more accessible to people around the world (often but not only girls!), and we are super pleased to announce that they will be running a workshop at EuroPython 2026 in Kraków!

👉 The workshop is a full day, on 18 July (a sprint day), and you can register on the Django Girls website: https://djangogirls.org/en/krakow2/

🏃‍♀️ Women in Python 5K Run

On Thursday 16th July there will be a group run with the aim of enabling some friendly networking and friendship building between women in the Python community.

It is open to runners of all experience levels, and will be a nice route around Kraków - along the river and at walking distance from the conference venue. If you are interested, please fill out the form below to help us prepare better (no commitment required - yet!), and we will send details of how to confirm your place closer to the time.

We’d like to thank our sponsor Arm for supporting this run.

👉 Register your interest here: https://forms.gle/bcsBTtNX1crEQhbw8

⭐ On-Site Volunteering

A big thank you to all who responded to our call for on-site volunteers, and we are now considering the applications. We had over 110 applications (far more than last year), and we loved to see applications from countries all over the world! 💚

We are now selecting volunteers, and you will receive notification of the status of your application in the following week (13-19th June). We will contact everyone who applied, even if you were not selected.

Thanks again to all of you - volunteers are the heart of EuroPython and we could not run the conference without you. ✨

👩‍🏫 Speaker Orientation Workshop

The EuroPython Speaker Orientation ran on the 3rd June 2026, and contained valuable tips from some of the most experienced speakers in our community. The panel spent an hour and a half giving practical advice on preparing talks, creating effective slides, managing nerves, engaging audiences, and handling Q&A sessions.

Cheuk Ting Ho, Rodrigo Girão Serrão, and Sebastian Witowski answered questions from new and returning speakers, sharing insights and lessons from their own conference speaking journeys.

Thank you to our amazing panel and everyone who joined us - we can’t wait to see you in Kraków!

💚 Financial Aid Round Up

This year, we received a record-high 217 financial aid applications across two rounds. We know how much care, hope, and effort goes into every application, and our financial aid team have worked hard to review them all with the attention they deserve.

We’re happy to share that all financial aid decisions have been sent out. With the €35,000 budget provided by the EuroPython Society, we have issued 84 grant offers. We are grateful to be able to support so many members of our community, and sincerely hope that all grantees will be able to join us in Kraków this summer to learn, connect, and celebrate the 25th anniversary of EuroPython.

To everyone who applied but was not offered a grant: we are very sorry for the disappointing news. If we miss you in Kraków, we still very much hope you’ll be part of the conference and connect with us remotely.

Call for Onsite Volunteers: Make EuroPython 2026 Happen

We need volunteers to make EuroPython 2026 happen. And you might be exactly who we're looking for!

Before sharing all the information, here is a personal story from me:

The first time I attended EuroPython in-person was as a volunteer. It was the first year after Covid, and I was nervous about traveling abroad for a conference where I didn't know anyone personally; there were only friendly faces from the previous year of volunteering online. When I volunteered online, it was easier. I could stay in my comfort zone. But stepping out of that zone to meet people face-to-face? That changed everything 🐍❤️

Those online faces became really good friends. Now I want to go for every EuroPython because I will get to meet them again. Volunteering with friends became such fun I didn't even notice that I was constantly stepping outside my comfort zone 💃

So, if you're thinking of volunteering, just do it! You will meet awesome humans and have fun while helping people surrounded by positive vibes 💖

As a volunteer, you're the face of the conference. Your job is to make sure everyone has a great time. We need volunteers to be welcoming, helpful, and collaborative; making sure everyone (including yourself) is comfortable and happy.

There are lots of different ways to help, depending on your interests and availability:

  • Registration Desk: Check in attendees, hand out badges, answer questions
  • T-Shirt Handout: Hand out awesome EuroPython merch to attendees
  • Room Manager: Keep things running smoothly in talk rooms, ensure speakers are ready
  • Session Chair: Introduce speakers, manage transitions, signal time, handle Q&A
  • Greeter / Badge Check: Welcome people, check for badges at entry
  • Runners: Help with whatever is needed at the moment! 

You can sign up for as many or as few slots as you want. Even a couple of hours helps. We'd appreciate it if you could do more than one, but no pressure, whatever you can give is valuable.

In the volunteering form, tell us what sounds interesting. Get matched with a role that fits your skills and availability. Show up, help out, and be part of something amazing.

That's it. No experience necessary. You don't need to be a Python expert. You just need to care about the community and be willing to help out. Whether that's greeting people at the door, managing the schedule, troubleshooting tech issues, or making sure speakers have what they need - we have a place for you.

What do you get?

  • 🎫 Free Ticket if you dedicate 10 hours or more (Tutorials + Conference)
  • 👕Volunteer T-Shirt: Awesome EuroPython merch to keep and show off
  • ⭐ <3 Forever: Featured on the EuroPython 2026 Team page

Check out this page for all the details, including descriptions of various roles: https://ep2026.europython.eu/volunteering/

And if you have more questions? Just reach out volunteers@europython.eu. We're here to help.

May Newsletter: Sessions, Speakers, Sprints

Hi all Pythonistas! 👋 

Hope you’ve been enjoying these last few weeks, and hopefully planning your trip to Kraków in July! With two months left before the conference, the EuroPython organising team has been firing on all cylinders to create a conference to remember. Here’s the latest from us:

📋 Session and Speaker Lists Are Available

Our Programme Team is busy preparing a detailed schedule for you. We plan to release it in the upcoming days, but in the meantime we’ve got the list of sessions and speakers for you to check out. It’s going to be an exciting conference!

Lists of sessions and speakers are available at https://ep2026.europython.eu/

👉 All conference sessions: https://ep2026.europython.eu/sessions/

👉 Speakers and tutorial leads: https://ep2026.europython.eu/speakers/ 

🗻 Language & Rust Summits

Summits are an opportunity for project contributors to come together during EuroPython. These are invite-only events with limited capacity at the venue, so registration is required.

🐍 Language Summit

The Python Language Summit is an event for the developers of Python implementations (CPython, PyPy, MicroPython, GraalPython, IronPython, and so on) to share information, discuss our shared problems, and — hopefully — solve them.

These issues might be related to the language itself, the standard library, the development process, the status of Python 3.15 (and plans for 3.16), the documentation, packaging, the website, and so forth. The Summit focuses on discussions and consensus-seeking, more than merely on presentations.

👉 Register for the Language Summit: https://ep2026.europython.eu/language-summit/

⚙️ Rust Summit

This full-day summit is dedicated to exploring the intersection of Rust and the Python ecosystem. Attendees can expect an intensive schedule focused specifically on integrating Rust into Python projects and the development of high-performance Python tools (e.g., using technologies like PyO3, Maturin, or writing performant native extensions). 

This summit is designed for developers who already possess some practical experience in these topics and are looking to deepen their expertise, share lessons learned, and contribute to the community's collective knowledge.

👉 Register for the Rust Summit: https://ep2026.europython.eu/session/rust-summit-at-europython

🗣️ Keynote Speakers

We are excited to announce a new keynote:

Leah Wasser is the Executive Director and founder of pyOpenSci, a community of 400+ researchers, engineers, and maintainers working to make developing and maintaining research software more accessible, sustainable, and human. She organizes the Maintainers Summit at PyCon US and believes the communities behind research software matter as much as the code itself.

Leah has built nationally recognized programs at the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) and the University of Colorado Boulder. Leah holds a PhD in ecology and is an active open source maintainer.

✋ Upcoming Call for Volunteers

We're opening our Call for Volunteers next week! Want to be part of the team and help make EuroPython 2026 awesome? Keep an eye on the website, the signup form drops in just a few days. We'll be reviewing applications on a rolling basis, so don't wait – apply as soon as it goes live! Whether you're a first-timer or a returning volunteer, we'd love to have you.

In my opinion, volunteering enriches the enjoyment of the whole event even further. There are many different roles to suit different personalities and abilities — one of them could suit you very well. Also, volunteering is about the team; you will not be left alone in any case.

Humans of EuroPython: Martin Borus

EuroPython wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for all the volunteers who put in countless hours to organize it. Whether it’s contracting the venue, ordering catering for a week-long conference, selecting and confirming talks & workshops, hundreds of hours of loving work have been put into making each edition the best one yet.

Today, we’d like to share an interview with Martin Borus, a member of the EuroPython 2025 Operations team and a returning conference contributor.

Thank you for making EuroPython such a welcoming conference, Martin!

Martin Borus, member of the Operations Team at EuroPython 2025 Prague & Remote

EP: What first inspired you to volunteer for EuroPython?

When visiting EuroPython - which was my first big Python conference - I got to know some volunteers. From the next year on I got gradually into helping. It seemed like a good idea to help.

EP: How did contributing to EuroPython impact your relationships within the community?

It was an entry point into the Python community. I met a lot of people I would not have met otherwise. Which led to a lot of interesting conversions and specific help for my journey into Python.

EP: Was there a moment when you felt your contribution really made a difference?

One of these moments comes from the Beginners’ Orientation sessions. I still remember the problems I had being alone on my first EuroPython that motivated me to give others a better start. I got feedback that this helped others to enjoy their first conference more.

EP: What's one thing you took away from contributing to EuroPython that you still use today?

The experiences gained in working with a team coming from all over Europe.

EP: If you could add one thing to make the volunteer experience even better, what would it be?

If there was a single thing, we’d have implemented it already, because each year the volunteers try to improve based on the experiences of the previous years.

EP: What tips do you have for people attending the conference?

For anybody coming to EuroPython, volunteer or attendee, I can highly recommend having a note on your phone about what topics you’re interested in. Collect questions in the weeks before the conference, so you can pull them out in conversations. I call this my “EuroPython wish list” and usually get large parts of it covered during the week.

EP: What would you say to someone considering volunteering at EuroPython but feeling hesitant?

Even if it’s at the cost of missing some of the talks, as a volunteer you are where the action is and you have a chance to get more experiences out of the conference.

EP: Thank you for your contribution, Martin!

📣 Community Outreach: From Lithuania To Texas

April’s been a proper whirlwind for the community, and we’ve been right there cheering on our fellow organisers:

DjangoCon Europe

Several members of the EuroPython Society attended DjangoCon Europe in Athens between the 15 and 19 April. This was the first DjangoCon Europe to be held in Greece, and the location of the conference - immediately adjacent to the Lyceum of Aristotle and the National Gardens - felt like the perfect backdrop for three incredible days of talks. ✨

Andrew Northall, member of the EuroPython 2026 Communications Team, promoting EuroPython at DjangoCon Europe 2026

PyCon DE & PyData 

We headed over to Darmstadt to support the community at the joint PyCon DE & PyData conference. This four-day event was packed with talks, masterclasses, sprints, and PyLadies sessions. EuroPython Society was one of the Diversity Sponsors of the conference.

PyCon Lithuania

We also supported the 15th edition of PyCon Lithuania, held in Vilnius from 8 to 10 May. It’s a three-day event and the largest Python and PyData gathering in the Baltic and Nordic regions, with over 600 participants.

PyTexas

Last but not least, we have also visited PyTexas, a three-day conference located in Austin, which celebrated its 20th anniversary. In a lightning talk, we have invited attendees to join us in the City of Castle and Dragons in July to enjoy pierogi, meeting European friends, and getting to know the lovely city.

EuroPython wouldn't exist without our dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly behind the scenes. They design our website, set up the call for proposals system, review hundreds of submissions, carefully select talks, coordinate speakers, and handle countless logistical details. Every aspect of the conference reflects their passion and expertise. Thank you for making EuroPython possible! 🎉

Below is our conversation with Nikoshell, who worked on the EuroPython 2025 website as well as a part of Communications & Design and Sponsorship teams.

We're grateful for your work on the conference, Nikoshell!

Nikoś aka Nikoshell, contributor and website developer at EuroPython 2025

EP: What was your primary role as a volunteer, and what did a typical day of contributing look like for you?

I quickly found a rhythm. Using a streamlined Linux setup with terminal-first tools, I focused on solving problems instead of fighting my tools. I’d catch the European team early, fix blockers like design assets or sponsor content, ship changes, and get feedback within hours. Morning performance fixes allowed richer assets by afternoon, and sponsor updates became social content automatically.

EP: Had you attended EuroPython before, or was volunteering your first experience with it?

First time organizing. Writing Python for 15+ years is one thing; seeing how a conference this size works is different. One code change could impact thousands. It was the most rewarding Python work I’ve done in years.

EP: What's one task you handled that attendees might not realize happens behind the scenes at EuroPython?

I automated sponsor data into social media graphics, saving hours of repetitive work.

EP: Was there a moment when you felt your contribution really made a difference?

Whenever a fix cleared busywork and let the team focus on creative work.

EP: Is there anything you took away from the experience that you still use today?

Collaboration patterns. Fast, trusting, distributed teams set a new bar. I still use those workflows and stay connected with the team.

EP: What would you say to someone considering volunteering at EuroPython but feeling hesitant?

Time matters less than impact. You gain skills, cleaner workflows, and strong connections. Just be willing to learn and ship.

EP: What connects Capture The Flag competitions (CTFs), AI automated solutions, and volunteering for EuroPython in your opinion?

Same mental model: find bottlenecks, remove friction, ship. I’ve competed in CTFs—Capture The Flag cybersecurity challenges—with my team justCatTheFish (ranked #1 in Poland, top 10 worldwide), contributed to pwndbg, and built security infrastructure. EuroPython felt like a CTF challenge solved with a high-speed, aligned team.

EP: Thank you for your contributions, Nikoshell!

Humans of EuroPython: George Zisopoulos

Behind every flawless talk, engaging workshop, and perfectly timed coffee break at EuroPython is a crew of unsung heroes—our volunteers! 🌟 Not just organizers, but dream enablers: printer ninjas, registration magicians, social butterflies, and even salsa instructors (yeah, that happened!) 

We’re the quiet force turning chaos into community, one sprint at a time. 💻✨ 

Curious who really makes the magic happen? Today we’d like to introduce George Zisopoulos, member of the Operations team at EuroPython 2025.

EP: What first inspired you to volunteer for EuroPython? And which edition of the conference was it?

I was inspired because I gave a presentation in 2020, and after that I wanted to experience the conference from the other side, as part of the volunteers. It was amazing to see how much work all these people had done for us as attendees, and I wanted to be a part of that.

So I applied and became an online volunteer in 2022 in Dublin, and the following year I joined EuroPython 2023 as an on-site volunteer. Once you start, you can’t stop doing it.

EP: Have you learned new skills while contributing to EuroPython? If so, which ones?

It’s less about learning new skills and more about discovering the ones you already have. With guidance and a supportive team, you feel confident using them and even pushing a bit past your comfort zone.

EP: What's your favorite memory from volunteering at the conference?

My favorite part is walking into the conference and unexpectedly running into someone you met at previous years’ editions. It’s like a little déjà vu. They hug you like you just saw them yesterday, even if it’s been a whole year.

EP: Did you make any lasting friendships or professional connections through volunteering?

Yes, I’ve made a few lasting friendships. We stay in touch all year, even though we live in different cities or countries. We visit each other, and often end up meeting in other countries while traveling.

EP: Any unexpected or funny experiences during the conference which you’d like to share?

I love coffee, so during the conference I’m usually wandering around with a cup in hand. Two years ago, thanks to some playful hits from friends, I ended up destroying three t-shirts with coffee during the conference! Now every year they wonder… How many shirts will I sacrifice this time?

EP: Would you volunteer again, and why?

I would say what I used to say last year: Summer without EuroPython just doesn’t really feel like a summer 😉 See you all there!

EP: Thank you for your contribution, George!

Humans of EuroPython: Jodie Burchell

What does it take to run Europe’s largest Python conference? 🐍 Not budgets or venues—it’s people.

EuroPython isn’t powered by code alone, but by a vibrant network of volunteers who shape every session and welcome every attendee. From ensuring talks run seamlessly to curating world-class content these are the unsung heroes building community, one contribution at a time.

We’re shining a spotlight on the people behind the magic. Read our full conversation with Jodie Burchell, co-lead of the EuroPython 2025 Programme Team and discover what drives those who give their time to grow our community.

Jodie Burchell, Co-Lead of the Programme Team at EuroPython 2025

EP: What first inspired you to volunteer for EuroPython?

I first attended EuroPython in 2023, and was asked by my friends Cheuk and Lais to help run the Humble Data workshop. I had so much fun, and really liked all the people I met, so I decided to help out with comms and other things in 2024, and ended up working on the Programme Team and helping run the Beginners’ Day in 2025.

EP: What was your primary role as a volunteer, and what did a typical day look like for you?

I was one of two co-team leads of the Programme Team in 2025. This team tends to touch a lot of the conference, although the tasks vary from week-to-week. We actually started work all the way back in December, and worked up until the end of the conference! My team’s role included running the CfP, selecting talks, and assembling the schedule, finding keynote speakers, organising special events, coordinating the open spaces, and finding last minute speakers when people cannot make it. It involved a lot of logistics, following up with other teams at EuroPython, and communicating with speakers.

I think one of my favourite things I organised at the conference was the international snack exchange. Seeing people sharing snacks from their home countries was so much fun, and really made us feel like a big international family.

EP: What's your favorite memory from volunteering at EuroPython?

I actually can’t pick just one!

One of my favourites was seeing the programme team in person after so many months of working together, and sharing some international snacks together to celebrate. 

Watching the excerpt of “Python: the Documentary” that CultRepo created for us, and seeing the reaction of the audience to the film and the panel was very moving. 

And of course, running Humble Data at the Beginner’s Day during the sprints. As someone with a non-traditional path into tech myself, I am really passionate about helping beginners and making them feel welcome, and having beginners starting to learn Python, and then speaking with core developers of well-established projects was really special.

EP: Did you make any lasting friendships or professional connections through volunteering?

Many! The Python community is incredible, and I am lucky to have found some of my closest friends through the EuroPython, Humble Data and wider Python community. I look forward to EuroPython every year (in whatever capacity I attend) so I can see all of these amazing, special friends.

EP: What's one misconception about conference volunteering you'd like to clear up?

I think one of the biggest misconceptions that people have about community conferences like EuroPython is that they’re run by professionals. While the EuroPython Society does have one (very talented) paid employee, most of the work you see at these conferences is done by members of the community, just like you and me. So if you feel inspired to contribute to EuroPython or another Python conference, reach out and find out how you can help! Although it can be a lot of work, it’s also very meaningful to know you’ve shaped an event that means a lot to the Python community.

EP: Thank you for your work, Jodie!
