EuroPython Conference — Rotating European Cities 2026

Overview

EuroPython, organized by the EuroPython Society (EPS) since 2002, is the longest-running volunteer-led Python conference, uniting over 1,200 Python developers, data scientists, and community builders from 40+ countries to share cutting-edge programming trends, foster collaboration, and spark innovation in a €10B+ European Python ecosystem. The 2026 edition (TBD July, likely Prague or Lisbon) is a 5-day hybrid event featuring 100+ talks, workshops, and sprints, building on 2025’s Prague success with 1,000+ attendees and a documentary premiere on Python’s history.

With a motto of “Learn, Share, Connect,” it emphasizes AI, web frameworks like Django, and inclusivity through a robust Code of Conduct (CoC). Supported by partners like the Python Software Foundation (PSF) and sponsors like Cult Repo, EuroPython offers financial aid (30% of €100K grants budget) and community tracks like PyLadies. The 2025 CoC report noted one minor poster phrase issue, resolved promptly, reflecting a safe environment. Sustainability is key with eco-venues and virtual streams reaching 5,000+. Past events, like 2025’s Brno Python Pizza, earned 90% satisfaction for “diverse talks.” As Europe’s Python hub, EuroPython 2026 rotates cities to forge connections, blending technical depth with community spirit for a vibrant, accessible experience.
