Hello!
SciPy 2018, the 17th annual Scientific Computing with Python conference,
will be held July 9-15 in Austin, Texas. The annual SciPy Conference brings
together over 700 participants from industry, academia, and government to
showcase their latest projects, learn from skilled users and developers,
and collaborate on code development. The Proceedings of the Python in
Science Conference, the journal covering SciPy submissions, is also
available to publish submissions from academic contributors. The call for
abstracts for SciPy 2018 for talks, posters, and tutorials is now open.
Talks & Posters (July 11-13, 2018)
In addition to general talks, there are specific tracks which include:
Data Visualization
Reproducibility and Software Sustainability
Astronomy
Biology and Bioinformatics
Data Science
Earth, Ocean and Geoscience
Image Processing
Language Interoperability
Library Science and Digital Humanities
Machine Learning
Materials Science
Political and Social Sciences
SciPy Tools plenary session
Tutorials (July 9-10, 2018)
Tutorials should be focused on covering a well-defined topic in a hands-on
manner. We are looking for awesome techniques or packages, helping new or
advanced python programmers develop better or faster scientific
applications. We encourage submissions to be designed to allow at least 50%
of the time for hands-on exercises, even if this means the subject matter
needs to be limited. Tutorials will be 4 hours in duration. In your
tutorial application, you can indicate what prerequisite skills and
knowledge will be needed for your tutorial, and the approximate expected
level of knowledge of your students (i.e. beginner, intermediate,
advanced). Instructors of accepted tutorials will receive a stipend.
For Examples of content and format, you can refer to tutorials from past
SciPy tutorial sessions (SciPy2017

Hello Pythonistas!
I am excited to share some news. We are starting a new project, PyLondinium
<https://pylondinium.org/>, a conference where all benefits will be
directly donated to the PSF.
It will be happening in June, in London. We will open the CfP at beginning
of March and we want to start to sell tickets soon.

We are excited to announce the launch of the EuroPython 2018 website:
* https://ep2018.europython.eu/ *
The EuroPython conference will take place in sunny Edinburgh,
Scotland, this year, from July 23-29 2018.
It’s a great time of year to visit Edinburgh with 16 hours of
daylight, and the festival season in full flow, so come and join
us. This is just one week before the famous Edinburgh Fringe Festival
and the Turing Festival, so you can extend your stay a little longer
in Edinburgh, or head for the Highlands to enjoy the amazing mountains
and lochs.
EuroPython 2018 - The European Python Conference
------------------------------------------------
Here’s an overview of what you can expect in Edinburgh:
- We will start with Workshops and Training Sessions on Monday and
Tuesday.
- The main 3 conference days follow, packed with keynotes, talks,
exhibition, help desks, interactive sessions, panels and poster
sessions.
- The two weekend days after the conference, July 28 and 29, are
reserved for sprints (hackathons).
Overall, we will again have 7 days worth of great Python content,
arranged in over 120 sessions, waiting for you.
The venue is the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, in central
Edinburgh, just on the edge of the historic Old Town.
In short:
- Monday, Tuesday, July 23-24: Workshops and Training
- Wednesday - Friday, July 25-27: Conference talks, keynotes, training
- Saturday, Sunday, July 28-29: Sprints

All this would not be possible without the generous help of our launch
sponsors. If your company would be interested in sponsoring the 17th
EuroPython please contact sponsoring(a)europython.eu.
Sponsoring EuroPython guarantees you highly targeted visibility and
the opportunity to present yourself and your company in a professional
