How EuroPython Proposals Are Selected: An Inside Look
With the number of Python-related conferences around the world, many people might wonder how the selection process is configured and performed. For the largest and oldest European Python conference, EuroPython, we wanted to share how this process works.
The Programme team for each EuroPython conference changes every year. There are mechanisms in place to carry on some of the processes and traditions when dealing with proposals for the next event, although you can still find some differences each year. These differences are not large enough to make a significant impact.
In this post, we highlight how the 2024 process was conducted and your role in it, whether as a submitter or potential contributor in future versions.
