The heart of EuroPython — three days of talks across five parallel tracks, covering every corner of the Python ecosystem.

Wednesday – Friday, 15–17 July5 parallel tracks

30-minute talks Our most common format. Speakers have 30 minutes including Q&A to share a focused idea, project, or lesson learned.
45-minute deep dives Selected talks get an extended slot for more complex topics that benefit from extra depth and live demonstrations.
For every level From beginner-friendly introductions to advanced internals — each talk is tagged by experience level so you can plan your day.
Community-selected Talks are chosen through an open call for proposals and community voting, ensuring the programme reflects what Pythonistas actually want to learn.
