Message-ID: <7c2e14b5-384b-7ee8-6614-003ce5b7a2bc@europython.eu> Interested in attending EuroPython? Entry tickets are now on sale and available on our website. *** Buy your EuroPython ticket *** https://ep2017.europython.eu/en/registration/buy-tickets/ Tickets for EuroPython will be sold in three phases: First, we?ll have a short early-bird ticket phase, where we?ll sell tickets at a very low rate. Only 200 tickets will be available for this rate, so be quick. It usually takes just a few days for them to sell out. We?ll then switch to the regular rates, and closer to the conference, to the on-desk rates. You can get tickets for the whole week, if you don?t want to miss anything, or buy day passes at the on-desk rates in July to attend only one or two days. We further offer three different rates: ?students? (including PhD and postdoc researchers), ?personal? and ?business? passes (for companies). Speakers and trainers will benefit of special discounts. See Call for Proposals for further details: https://ep2017.europython.eu/en/call-for-proposals/ Take this opportunity and get your ticket now! Prices will increase the closer we get to the event.
