EuroPython 2020 and COVID-19
by M.-A. Lemburg 12 Mar '20

12 Mar '20

As you probably already know, the Coronavirus is spreading throughout Europe and we wanted to give you an update on our current plans around on the situation. We will update this blog post as new information becomes available: https://blog.europython.eu/post/612393987829039104/europython-2020-and-covi… 2020-03-12: The number of cases in Ireland is still low compared to other countries, but the Irish government is already starting to put limited bans on larger indoor events. Since EuroPython is planned for July 20-26, we are hopeful that the situation will have improved by then and continue the conference planning with the aim of having the conference on the planned date. We would still like to ask all attendees to take the necessary and recommended hygienic precautions when attending the event and pay close attention to your country’s travel guidelines. If you don’t feel well, please do not attend the conference - instead, please follow the COVID-19 advice of the Irish Health Service. We will refund your ticket. Should the conference need to be canceled as a result of the official ban still being in effect in July, we will refund all tickets - even after the official refund cut-off date (June 19th). We are in discussion with the venue to explore options in case the conference has to be canceled, which we will share with you soon as we have any update. Because the situation is very much in flux, we would recommend that you make booking arrangements with an option to cancel the booking closer to the event date.

We have opened the Call for Proposals today. It will be left open for three weeks and then close on: Sunday, March 29 23:59:59 CEST In order to submit a proposal, please log in to the site (or create an account first) and then proceed to the CFP page: * https://ep2020.europython.eu/call-for-proposals/ * We’re looking for proposals on every aspect of Python: all levels of programming from novice to advanced, applications, frameworks, data science, Python projects, internals or topics which you’re excited about, your experiences with Python and its ecosystem, creative or artistic things you’ve done with Python, to name a few. EuroPython is a community conference and we are eager to hear about your use of Python. Since feedback shows that our audience is very interested in advanced topics, we’d appreciate more entries in this category for EuroPython 2020. Please help spread word about Call for Proposals to anyone who might be interested. Thanks.

EuroPython 2020: Launching the conference website
by M.-A. Lemburg 08 Mar '20

08 Mar '20

We are very excited to announce the launch of our website for EuroPython 2020: * EuroPython 2020 Website * https://ep2020.europython.eu/ Our web WG worked hard on putting the finishing touches on the website and many other team members helped update the content. We have ported the accounts from last year to the new website, so you should be able to login with last year’s details. That said, we’d recommend changing your password as best practice. Please note that we have also updated the profile page, so after login you will be redirected to the profile page to make any necessary adjustments. More updates: ------------- - The CFP will launch as planned on Monday, March 9th. - We are also considering to open early bird sales on Wednesday, March 11 at 12:00 CET. However, since we’re still waiting for the VAT ID registration, we won’t be able to produce invoices yet. Those will get delivered later when we have the VAT ID - much like in Edinburgh, where we had similar delays. - Ticket prices are already available on the registration page. Unlike in previous years, we are publishing all prices at once, so that you can get a better overview. - As you probably know, the Corona virus has hit Europe and we are closely monitoring the situation. We will publish separate blog posts on this topic. So far, we are hopeful that the situation will have calmed down by July. - We have prepared the sponsorship packages and will announce these in separate blog post. Early bird sponsors will again receive a 10% discount on the package price. If you’re interested in becoming a sponsor, please contact our sponsor team at sponsoring(a)europython.eu.
