You can find the shop under the "EuroPython" menu entry on the conference website:
The shop is run on the Spreadshirt platform and so Spreadshirt will handle all payments, invoicing and shipping.
We have preconfigured a large number of items in the shop based on the designs for EuroPython 2021, but you can also customize the looks by clicking on the editing pen on the product pages.
Attendee T-Shirt Design
Any profit this creates will go towards the EuroPython financial aid budget, so will be put to good use.
Discounts
To make things a little easier for you, we have configured the following discounts Spreadshirt offers:
Unfortunately, they don’t support shipping to the US, Australia, Brasil and a few other countries on their European shop system for tax reasons. If you'd like to order from one of those countries, perhaps you can find a friendly Pythonista who would be willing to forward you the merch from Europe.
We are excited to have Optiver as our Keystone Sponsor for EuroPython 2021. Optiver uses Python to drive their market maker business in the financial industry.
You can participate in their free training session, visit their sponsor exhibit rooms, and talk with their staff to learn more about the Python ecosystem they have created.
Please continue reading to learn more about Optiver.
We’re market makers. In simple terms, we provide buy and sell prices for financial products on exchanges across the globe. By providing this liquidity we help make markets more efficient. Every day at Optiver is an opportunity to solve the seemingly impossible. What we build, code, develop and strategise pushes the boundaries of technological and analytical possibility in the world of electronic trading. Every team member has an integral part to play in this endeavour, which is why collaboration lies at the heart of everything we do. From traders, engineers, researchers, and support, we work in unison to find solutions to incredibly complex problems. It’s a melting pot of dynamic thought, simple execution and pioneering spirits, and we’re always looking for fresh new thinking to help us achieve our mission.
How Python Plays a Vital Role in our Business
Working in infrastructure, development, and operations, our engineers are driven by the need to understand technology at its deepest level. Some of the ways we use Python include interfacing with our physical systems, managing our production environments, and gaining insights into how they’re performing. It also plays a crucial role in our monitoring by collecting metrics data and raising alerts when anomalies are found in our trading systems. We also use it to manage our data pipelines including job scheduling, analytics, and quality control. The list goes on but what remains the same is how Python is crucial to solving the complexity of trading with elegant, simple solutions.
Optiver at EuroPython 2021
We’re extremely excited to once again be a part of EuroPython. Not only as a keystone sponsor but also as a participant looking to share ideas and learn from the many innovative minds in attendance. We’ll be hosting two talks, including a workshop - Activate Your Interest in Coding for Algorithmic Trading, where developers will get the chance to trade on Optibook, our proprietary simulated exchange. You’ll learn the fundamentals of trading such as what are order-books, order-types, liquidity, positions, and gain insights into the different trading systems involved. You’ll then get to test your abilities with Python by creating a profitable trading strategy that can handle the pressures of the market. We look forward to hosting you at our workshop, so please join us and come learn more about the exciting space in which we operate.

In 2019, we have set up the Guido van Rossum Core Developer Grant, to make it easy for Python Core Developers to attend EuroPython, but also to give something back to the core team and add a perk to make core development more attractive.
If you are a core developer, please check our grant page for details on how to apply.
PS: If you are a core developer and want to organize a core sprint, workshop, language summit or similar event at EuroPython 2021, please get in touch with our program workgroup soon, so that we can help arrange things.
PPS: If you want to become a core developer, please have a look at the Python Dev Guide.
EuroPython 2021 will be held online in the week of July 26:
Two workshop/training days (Monday, Tuesday): training sessions and workshops
Three conference days (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday): keynotes, talks, lightning talks, poster session
Two sprint days (Saturday, Sunday): code sprints / hackathons
Lots of engaging content waiting for you
The conference will be packed with interesting Python content, provided in many different formats and presented by our fantastic team of volunteers, speakers and sponsors:
with a whole track dedicated to data science topics,
a poster track,
interactive sessions,
a virtual social event,
an after party,
and lots of socializing on our conference platform.
We would like to thank all speakers and sponsors who submitted session proposals to the conference.
Never miss a talk
All talks will be made available to the attendees via streaming to our Matrix based conference platform, with easy switching between tracks and chat. We’ll also make the streams available with rewind functionality and give you access to the streams after the conference.
Conference Tickets
Conference tickets are available on our registration page. We have several ticket types available to make the conference affordable for everyone and we're also offering financial aid to increase our reach even more.
EuroPython is your conference
EuroPython has always been a completely volunteer based effort. The organizers work hundreds of hours to make the event happen and will try very hard to create an inspiring and exciting event.
However, we can only provide the setting. You, as our attendees, are the ones who fill it with life and creativity.
We are very much looking forward to having you at the conference !
Our program work group (WG) has been working hard over the last week to select sessions for EuroPython 2021, based on your talk voting and our diversity criteria.
We’re now happy to announce the initial list with more than 100 sessions, brought to you by more than 100 speakers.
In the coming weeks, we will complete the session list, adding keynotes, sponsored talks and training sessions. Once finalized, we expect to have more than 130 sessions waiting for, including three lightning talk slots, six keynotes, a recruiting session and several free sponsored training sessions.
The program workgroup will start working on the schedule, which should be ready in about two weeks.
Conference Tickets
Conference tickets are available on our registration page. We have several ticket types available to make the conference affordable for everyone and we're also offering financial aid to increase our reach even more.
As always, all proceeds from the conference will go into our grants budget, which we use to fund financial aid for the next EuroPython edition, special workshops and other European conferences and projects:
We hope to see lots of you at the conference in July. Rest assured that we’ll make this a great event again — even within the limitations of running the conference online.
Any registered attendee of EuroPython 2021 with a paid ticket, as well as attendees of one of the past EuroPython conferences (going back to 2015) can vote. If you have submitted a proposal this year, you are also eligible to vote.
If you have not attended EuroPython before, but want to participate in talk voting, you have to buy a ticket before you can vote.
How talk voting works
The talk voting interface lists all submitted proposals, including talks, helpdesks and posters. You can then vote on the proposal you'd like to see at the event.
After the talk voting phase, the EuroPython Program Workgroup (WG) will use the votes to select the talks and build a schedule.
The talk voting is a good and strong indicator of what attendees are interested to see. Submissions are also selected based on editorial criteria, for example, to increase diversity, give a chance to less mainstream topics and make sure that topics don't overlap too much.
In general, the Program WG will try to give as many speakers a chance to talk as possible. If speakers have submitted multiple talks, the one with the highest rating will most likely get selected.
We've decided to extend the deadline for our Call for Proposals until Sunday, May 16, 23:59:59 CEST. We are still looking for a few more proposals, especially for posters, training sessions, and helpdesks.
For more information about submitting a proposal, you can read the original blog post announcing the Call for Proposals. To submit a proposal directly, please log in to the site (or create an account first) and then proceed to the CFP page:
