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.
