EuroPython : a Python Conference
EuroPython 2009 - Announcement and Call for Proposals
The EuroPython Society is pleased to announce Europe's Premier Python Conference EuroPython 2009 which will take place from 28th June to 4th July 2009 in Birmingham, UK
What is EuroPython ?
EuroPython is a conference all about the Python programming language, it's aimed at the Python community: Python users and programmers, of all skill levels. EuroPython is the born cool Python conference.
What will be included in the Programme ?
We're planning talks, lightning talks and tutorials as well as social events, and we've arranged space for sprints after the conference. The tutorials are a unique opportunity for some concentrated Python training.
To get a rough idea, have a quick peek at last year's programme.
When and Where will it be held ?
EuroPython 2009 will be held from Sunday 28th June to Saturday 4th July at the Birmingham Conservatoire. The core conference is from Tuesday 30th June to Thursday 2nd July, preceded by 2 days of tutorials and followed by developers' sprints.
What's that ?
The School of Music at the Birmingham City University. It has excellent facilities for our conference, and is in short walking distance of train and coach stations and hotels at all price levels.
Don't be square - be there!
How much will it cost me ?
We are keeping costs to a minimum and expect that you will be able to attend the whole conference for around £100-150 or €125-190, including accommodation and food if you book at the extra-early bird rate (depending on what accommodation you want).
Registration will be opening in February 2009. Plan your diary around EuroPython now!
