📣 Programme

Keynote Speakers

We are excited to announce three more keynote speakers!

Sebastián Ramírez 

Sebastián is the creator and maintainer of several widely used open-source Python libraries, including FastAPI, Typer, SQLModel, and Asyncer. His work focuses on tools for building web APIs, command-line interfaces, and working with data models in Python.

He has collaborated with teams and companies across Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States, working on systems involving APIs, distributed computing, and machine learning.

Currently, Sebastián works full-time on the development and maintenance of his open-source projects.

Brett Cannon 

Brett has been a Python core developer since 2003 and has contributed to just about every corner of the language. He’s one of the most prolific PEP authors, the creator of importlib, and played a major role in the Python 2 -> 3 transition and the creation of pyproject.toml.

He served on the inaugural Python Steering Council and remained on it for five years, guiding the language through some of its most critical transitions.

But beyond code, Brett is known for his love of the Python community — “I came for the language, but I stayed for the community”. He’s a former PSF board member and a recipient of the Frank Willison Award.

Petr Baudiš 

Petr Baudiš is a co-founder and CTO of Rossum, a SaaS deep tech scaleup that focuses on automating document-based B2B transactional communication. He co-invented Rossum's unique AI engine and currently oversees Rossum's R&D and product engineering. In the past, Petr led multiple AI research and deep learning projects in academia as well as in commercial environments. His work was used by companies like Google DeepMind, Novartis, Seznam.cz and countless others. 

Petr's past exploits include building one of the key predecessors of AlphaGo, working with Linus Torvalds as one of the founding developers of Git, and leading many other open-source projects.

🦒Speaker Mentorship Programme - Closes Today! 

The Mentorship Programme is back for EuroPython 2025!

As a diverse and inclusive community EuroPython offers support for potential speakers who want help preparing for their contribution. To achieve this, we are running the Speaker Mentorship Programme again.

We’re looking for mentors to help our mentees craft great proposals and, if accepted, help them prepare their talks. If you are interested in helping mentees as their mentor, please register here: https://forms.gle/Wbn9Z7zBQtK56xjS9 

If you need support with speaking at EuroPython—especially if you’re from an underrepresented or marginalized group in the tech industry—we encourage you to apply below to become a mentee. https://forms.gle/HgyoWnp3sc89S5DbA

After the CfP, we will host an online panel session with 2–3 experienced community members who will share their advice with first-time speakers. At the end of the panel, there will be a Q&A session to answer all the participants’ questions.

You can watch the recording of the previous year’s workshop here:
