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:
We're happy to announce our call for sponsors. Reach out to enthusiastic Python developers, users and professionals worldwide by presenting your company at this year’s EuroPython 2021 Online conference, from July 26 - Aug 1, 2021!
Sponsoring EuroPython guarantees you highly targeted visibility and the opportunity to present yourself and your company in a professional and innovative environment.
We have adjusted our conference sponsor packages for the online format and lowered their prices, giving you an excellent opportunity to reach out to attendees from all around the world. You can run your own virtual rooms, text channels, run competitions, tutorials or give product presentations throughout the conference days.
In the EuroPython community, diversity and inclusion are one of our core values. Therefore, we are launching a Speaker Mentorship Program in this year's edition.
We know how tough it is to prepare for a talk, find & organize the right content around the topic and more so when it's the first time. So what could be better than getting guidance and support from within the community itself.
By means of this program, we would like to bridge the gap between a developing and experienced speaker. Hence, we are looking for mentors and mentees to sign up.
Activities
We have included the activities below in the mentorship program:
One-to-One Mentorship Program A mentee from the underrepresented or marginalized group in the tech industry will be matched with an experienced speaker.
Ask Me Anything about the CFP Workshop An AMA session will be held on the 29th April 2021 (Thursday). We encourage those who have limited or no experience of submitting papers to EuroPython to join and ask questions. Questions can range from talk ideas, what makes a good proposal to what is the selection process of the talk. Register for the workshop.
First-Time Speaker Workshop (Date TBC) EuroPython will provide a speaker training session to all selected speakers regarding how to set up the technology to present at EuroPython. However, we would like to give the first-time speakers more support about how to prepare their talk and what to expect when presenting a live talk at EuroPython.
Expectations from Mentors
They should have past speaking experience at conferences similar to EuroPython. They are expected to take 4 one-hour sessions with their mentee to:
Prepare their CFP submission.
Review their CFP before submission.
If the mentee is selected, help them prepare the talk. If the mentee is not selected, help them submit to another meetup/ conference.
Help mentee to rehearse for their talk
You will also be invited to join the panel of the Webinar Workshops.
Expectations from Mentee
They should have a preselected topic or an idea for their talk with some content. They recognize themselves as underrepresented or from a marginalized group in the tech industry, and/or have no prior or little speaking experience, but would like to give a talk in EuroPython 2021.
Update: We've extended the deadline for the Call for Proposals until Sunday, May 16, 23:59:59 CEST.
We're happy to announce the EuroPython 2021 Call for Proposals (CFP) and are accepting proposals for talks, training sessions, workshops, panels, poster sessions, helpdesks and other interactive sessions at EuroPython 2021.
We will leave the CFP open from today until Sunday, May 16, 23:59:59 CEST.
To submit a proposal, please log in to the site (or create an account first) and then proceed to the CFP page:
We're looking for proposals on all aspects of Python from novice to advanced level, including but not limited to: applications, frameworks, Data Science, internals or topics which you're excited about, your experiences with Python and its ecosystem and creative or artistic things you've done with Python.
EuroPython is a community conference and we're eager to hear about how you use Python in your professional and personal activities.
Feedback has shown that attendees are interested in advanced topics, we would like to encourage more submissions with an advanced level scope for EuroPython 2021. Please also note that we have added back training and workshop submissions. We had to remove those last year due to lack of resources.
Speaker Mentoring Program
This year we are running a mentoring program to encourage more first time speakers to submit proposals, as well as provide training on delivering talks effectively. We are also looking for more mentors to help with the program.
Please check the CFP page for details on the mentoring program.
Help spread the word
We encourage you to share details about our Call for Proposals with your colleagues, friends and social networks. Thanks.

Grant Eligibility
EuroPython is a wonderful place to meet and share your experience with Python developers from Europe and all around the world. Our goal is to support people who want to help improve the Python community: conference speakers, active developers from smaller Python communities and open source contributors.
Our grants are open to all people in need of financial aid. We take into account the following criteria during the selection process:
Contributors: Potential speakers/trainers of EuroPython (those who have submitted a proposal), volunteers and other contributors to EuroPython and/or Python community projects.
Economic factors: We want everybody to have a chance to join EuroPython, regardless of economic situation or income level.
Country based: As EuroPython 2021 will be run online and there may be participants joining outside of Europe, we understand not all countries have the same income levels and cost of living.
Diversity: We aim to be the most diverse and inclusive event possible.
