As previously announced, we will be opening early-bird tickets sales today at 12:00 CEST. We will have 200 early-bird tickets available when we open up ticket sales. They offer a discount of up to 50% over the standard rate and are usually sold out within a few hours. In 2018 early bird tickets were sold out in just 45 minutes. Please have your credit cards ready, in case you want to buy early-bird tickets. We won’t support Paypal payments this year due to the issues we ran into with their service last year. For more details on tickets, please see our registration page: * https://ep2019.europython.eu/registration/buy-tickets/ * Guido van Rossum Core Developer Grant ------------------------------------- For Python Core Developers, we have put a special grant in place, which will allow core developers to get free tickets to the conference. We will issue coupon codes for the regular tickets in the coming days, since we’d like to keep the early-bird tickets for people who are not eligible for such grants, refunds or discounts. If you want to sign up, please check our grant page for details on how to apply: https://www.europython-society.org/core-grant Dates and Venues ---------------- EuroPython will be held from July 8-14 2019 in Basel, Switzerland, at the Congress Center Basel (BCC) for the main conference days (Wed-Fri) and the FHNW Muttenz for the workshops/trainings/sprints days (Mon-Tue, Sat-Sun).
