We aim to cover the many ways Python is used to solve problems and create exciting projects. Below is a brief overview of the different session types:

Tutorials are interactive, hands-on sessions lasting 180 minutes, focusing on learning by doing, often with live coding and exercises. Tutorials take place on Tutorial Days.

The rooms vary in size, with some accommodating up to 40 participants and others up to 100.

Attendees with an eligible ticket to attend tutorials can choose which session to attend on a first-come, first-served basis, with no specific signup required.

Workshops are typically community-led, full-day sessions focused on practical skills. Workshops typically involve extensive group work, with the guidance of the tutors to ensure effective learning and active participation.

Workshops usually take place on Tutorial Days, with 20-40 participants. Signup information can typically be found under Programme in the website menu.

Past highlights have included Django Girls, HumbleData, and Beginners Day, designed to engage people of all experience levels.

Summits are unconference-style, topic-focused full-day gatherings for subject experts. These sessions focus on knowledge sharing and exploration of key issues within specific fields.

Summits usually take place on Tutorial Days, with around 30 participants or fewer. Signup information can typically be found under Programme in the website menu.

Past highlights have included topics like C-API and WASM.

Talks are conference presentations, each typically lasting 30 or 45 minutes. There are 6 parallel tracks, with around 120 talks in total, covering a broad range of Python-related topics.

Many talks include a Q&A session, allowing attendees to engage with the speaker and dive deeper into the topic.

Talks take place on Main Conference Days in rooms that vary greatly in size, with capacities ranging from 150 to 1,000 attendees.

Keynotes are inspiring talks from influential speakers in the Python community and beyond. Setting the tone for the conference, each keynote typically lasts 45 minutes.

Posters are a visual showcase of research, projects, or technologies, usually A0-sized and displayed on poster walls.

Posters are exhibited throughout the Main Conference Days in the exhibit hall, where attendees can read them at any time. A dedicated one-hour poster session, usually held during lunch, allows authors to discuss their work with attendees.

Lightning Talks are quick, 5-minute presentations where speakers share ideas, projects, or spark discussion, often in a fun and informal way.

Lightning Talks take place in the Plenary Room during the Main Conference Days, usually in the late afternoon. Signups happen on-site, with selection taking place daily.

Open Space is a flexible, participant-driven session where attendees propose topics, lead discussions & presentations, and collaborate on ideas in an informal setting.

A designated room will be available for for Open Space sessions throughout the Main Conference Days, To sign up, attendees add their session to the Open Space signup whiteboard, which also serves as a notice board to attract interested attendees.

Sprints are a two-day, participant-driven event where attendees come together to work on open-source projects, solve problems, and share knowledge.

Sprints take place over the weekend, often at a different venue. Any attendee can organise a sprint by adding it to the sprint page when it becomes available. Participants can join any sprint that interests them.

Each sprint typically accommodates around 20-40 participants.

Events are social and networking activities organised by EuroPython volunteers to connect attendees, celebrate the community, and have fun. These can include special workshops, social events, dinners, meetups, and more.
