“One of the biggest misconceptions that people have about community conferences like EuroPython is that they’re run by professionals. While the EuroPython Society does have one (very talented) paid employee, most of the work you see at these conferences is done by members of the community, just like you and me.“

Recently @t_redactyl, co-lead of the Programme Team at #europython 2025, shared her thoughts on what it takes to organize a European conference https://blog.europython.eu/humans-of-ep-jodie

🇬🇧 What will the participants of #europython 2026 in Kraków enjoy the most? Bartek Nowak asked Janusz Kamieński this question on the recent #pykonik meetup in Kraków.

“For me, it is not about 'giving back' but about 'participating'. I started volunteering out of curiosity, and continued because of the people and interactions.“

🇵🇱 Czego powinno być więcej na EuroPythonie 2026? Na niedawnym Pykoniku Bartek Nowak zadał to pytanie Dominikowi Czarnocie.

Pykonik to spotkania krakowskiej społeczności Pythonistów. Głównym założeniem inicjatywy jest wymiana doświadczeń w trybie face2face i przelanie energii pasjonatów tego dynamicznego języka programowania w konkretne działania dla dobra ludzkości.

Jesteśmy zaszczyceni, że Pykonik jest partnerem społecznościowym EuroPythona!
