We are pleased to announce that we bundle the EuroPython ticket with a BVG ticket (the Berlin transport authority). So all rides using the public transportation system within Berlin are free for all attendees during the conference.
EuroPython 2014 will be the largest EuroPython ever. We have almost reached the location capacity of 1200 attendees. This is almost a 50% increase in attendees compared to EuroPython 2013 in Florence. Thank you all!
Bad news
We will run out of tickets shortly and EuroPython 2014 will be sold out. A remaining batch of 90 tickets - split over the three categories student (250 €), standard (500 €) and business(750 €) - will go on sale
tomorrow Wednesday 25/06/2014 at 12:00 (UTC+2).
The so-called „on-desk“ tickets“ are regular tickets with the exception that they must be picked up at the conference registration desk in person compared to the standard tickets (sold until last Sunday) where we will ship the badges by postal mail before the conference. The “on-desk” tickets are only available to the “on-desk” rates on the ticket sale page.
Speakers/trainers without ticket so far will receive the difference between on-desk rate and standard rate plus the 25% speaker discount as a refund.
So order your EuroPython tickets as early as tomorrow otherwise it might be too late for getting further tickets.
We will shortly start with the production of the EuroPython badges and handle the conference t-shirts order. For this reason we want you to update your personal member profile on the EuroPython site.

Call for Volunteers EuroPython 2014 is going to be the biggest EuroPython so far. Until now we sold more than 900 tickets. As you can imagine handling so many attendees will be a challenge. To tackle all the requests and tasks that have to be done on site, *we need you*!
There are many things to do on site. For example helping attendees at the info desk, handing out t-shirts and swag bags or simply helping out wherever a helping hand is needed.
So sign up as a volunteer and become a part of EuroPython! Take the chance and have a look behind the scenes and experience how it feels to make something big!
We are finalizing the tasks and shifts and setting up the volunteer system. To get notified when you can register on the volunteer system simply sign up on the europython-volunteer-announce mailing list:
Assign your ticket If you’ve already purchased a ticket for yourself, colleagues or friends you can find them on https://ep2014.europython.eu/en/tickets/mine/. We would like you to assign every ticket, be it a Early Bird, Standard, Business, Financial Aid or a SIM Card, to the respective user, even to yourself. To do so just click on the link “assign the ticket to a user” next to the ticket and type the username of the intended owner. If the intended owner does not have a user account ask her or him to sign up. Assigning a ticket allows its owner to specify further information that will be shown on the badge (e.g. link to the profile, interests, …) and offers the possibility to update things like food preferences or the t-shirt size.
The deadline for both is 23/06/2014 12am (CEST/UTC+2) but we kindly ask you to do it as soon as possible.
SIM Cards You can order a SIM card through the EuroPython website. We offer SIM cards in cooperation with blau.de (a German phone discounter). You will be able to select between a data plan with a 1GB traffic limit or a phone plan with 200 minutes, 200 SMS and 200MB traffic included. You can choose the plan online as soon as you hold the SIM card in your hand. For more details see the official offer (http://www.blau.de/tarif/9cent). Unfortunately the company doesn’t offer an English page but Google Translate or something similar should work fine. If you decide to buy a SIM card you will receive it at the EuroPython info desk.
During the purchase process we ask for “Host” information. This information relates to the place where you are going to stay in Berlin and is *not* your home location (if you are not living in Germany). It has to be a valid German address.
We are happy to announce that EuroPython 2014 will be the biggest EuroPython ever!
Until today we have already more than 900 registrations! ….and we have four more weeks to go….I think we can do even better?
The registration for the standard rate ends on 22/06/2014 (23:59:59 UTC+2). The on-desk rates apply to all purchases between 23/06/2014 and the conference - so hurry up!
Thank you all in advance for coming to Berlin - this EuroPython will rock!
