Hear from our community
Thibaud Colas
"Pretty sure EuroPython 2025 was my top 1 fav conference ever. Just the perfect mixture of catching up with people I know, meeting people I don't know, learning new things. Time well spent chatting w/ Python veterans and also first-timers."
Wojciech Nowicki, MBA
"I learned from brilliant speakers across topics spanning Python best practices, data engineering, and AI/ML applications. Even more valuable were the conversations with fellow developers, maintainers, community organizers, and representatives from many companies across the Python ecosystem."
Diego Russo
"I've been attending EuroPython since 2011. To me, this is the Python conference. Period. I'm proud to be part of this community, and I will do my best to keep it that way."
Jodie Burchell
"Last week's EuroPython was one of the most wonderful conferences I've ever been to, and my heart is still overflowing with all of the wonderful moments."
Vassiliki Dalakiari
"This event was built by the community, for the community, with authentic support for local groups. From the PyLadies meetups to the Python documentary screening, inclusivity felt genuine and present throughout the conference."
Rodrigo Girão Serrão
"This was also the most rewarding conference for me so far. A conference like EuroPython is much more than just talks and tutorials. There is the hallway track, lightning talks, social events, snacks exchange, the sprints weekend, ..."

25 YEARS OF EUROPYTHON #
From a small gathering of enthusiasts to Europe's largest Python conference — a quarter century of community, code, and collaboration.
EuroSciPy is Europe's premier conference on scientific Python — covering NumPy, SciPy, pandas, machine learning, and the broader scientific ecosystem. In 2026 it comes to Kraków, right after EuroPython.
We co-organise the sprints together. The final two days of EuroPython sprints overlap with the opening of EuroSciPy sprints — giving you the unique opportunity to hack alongside both communities at once.
