After intense work with our designer, we are happy to present the logo for the EuroPython 2018 conference:
The colors and patterns are a play on Scottish kilts, referring to the location, and a theatre curtain, representing the many presentations we’ll have at the conference.
We hope you like it as much as we do.
Enjoy,

As you may know, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival is starting one week after EuroPython 2018 in Edinburgh. Since this typically attracts many thousands of people and artists, the hotels are filling up quickly in Edinburgh.
If you’re planning to attend EuroPython, please book your hotel early. Many booking sites offer free cancellations, so there’s no risk in making reservations now, even if you decide not to come in the end.
Room allocation for EuroPython 2018
To help with this, we have partnered with the Edinburgh Convention Bureau to set aside a number of hotel rooms which are reserved for EuroPython attendees. These rooms will be held reserved until a few weeks before the conference and are also available with a free cancellation option.
The Edinburgh Convention Bureau has setup the following website for booking rooms from this allocation:

Update on EuroPython 2018
Meanwhile, we wanted to give you an update of where we are with the conference organization:
We are still working on getting everything setup for launching the website, opening ticket sales and the Call for Proposals (CFP).
This year the EuroPython Society (EPS) will be running the ticket sales, rather than a local organization and we are facing some challenges related to VAT taxes, which are taking longer to sort out than expected.
This is the main reason for the delay you are seeing, but we’re getting there.

We are excited to announce the launch of the EuroPython 2018 website:
The EuroPython conference will take place in sunny Edinburgh, Scotland, this year, from July 23-29 2018.
It’s a great time of year to visit Edinburgh with 16 hours of daylight, and the festival season in full flow, so come and join us. This is just one week before the famous Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the Turing Festival, so you can extend your stay a little longer in Edinburgh, or head for the Highlands to enjoy the amazing mountains and lochs.
EuroPython 2018 - The European Python Conference
Here’s an overview of what you can expect in Edinburgh:
Overall, we will again have 7 days worth of great Python content, arranged in over 120 sessions, waiting for you.
The venue is the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, in central Edinburgh, just on the edge of the historic Old Town.
In short:

EuroPython 2017 Conference
We are happy to announce a new format our Media Workgroup is experimenting with:
The podcast intends to be a view on the European Python community. We will comment and talk about the latest news from the EuroPython Society last news, interview guests from the European Python community and discuss future Python events in Europe … and probably more (ideas are always welcome).
In this podcast we discussed about the Venue Request For Proposal (RFP) for EuroPython 2018, what venues we should aim for? How about a EuroPython 2018 Disneyland Paris?
We also had Lasse Schuirmann from coala.io. Here is how he describes himself:
I started programming when I was 14 years old. Since then I did various projects like an image processing algorithm, an artificial neural net or my (very small) home-grown kernel. You can find the code for my openly developed projects (which is an increasing number relative to the others) largely on GitHub (https://github.com/sils1297) or GitLab (https://gitlab.com/u/sils).
If you hear the podcast you might be interested in this link too : http://coala.io/starwars
More information about upcoming events mentioned in the podcast:
We are just starting and this was our first episode. We promise we are working really hard to increase the audio quality - help on this issue is very welcome.
If you want to join the podcast as collaborator, nominate someone to be our next guest, announce your local python conference or/and give us feedback, please send an email to media-wg@europython.eu
Many thanks.

EuroPython 2017 is almost over and so it’s time to ask around for what we can improve next year. If you attended EuroPython 2017, please take a few moments and fill in our feedback form:
We will leave the feedback form online for a few weeks and then use the information as basis for the work on EuroPython 2018 and also post a summary of the multiple choice questions (not the comments to protect your privacy) on our website. Many thanks in advance.
