The speaker registration is opened since February 17th  and will last
until April 6th.

There is no a "private", "student" or "company" account, you can became
a speaker just submitting a talk following this link:

The distinctions between "private", "student" or "company" come into
play when you are buying a ticket

[snip on the vies system]

The Italian law DPR 633/1972 of 1st Jan 2011, according to our business
consultant, provides a fixed VAT rate of 20% for any sales, regarding
cultural events, until 3000 euro.

In short I don't think that we, Python Italia, can reverse charge the
VAT to your company, but tomorrow I will write to our business
consultant for clarification.
