Subject: [EuroPython] EuroPython 2018: Looking for a photographer
Message-ID: <7d82f3c3-a1c1-48c5-0d84-a7fd42f8b42a@europython.eu>

At last year?s event, we had a professional conference photographer,
Alessia Peviani, from our community, help us cover the event in
pictures.

	  https://ep2017.europython.eu/en/europython/photos/


This year she unfortunately cannot attend, so we?re looking for help
from other photographers in the community.

Here?s what we can offer:
-------------------------

* recognition and publicity by listing you as the official EuroPython
  conference photographer

* free tickets for the conference and trainings

* refund for travel and accommodation up to EUR 500

* gratitude by our attendees who really appreciate having this kind of
  documentation available

What we are asking for:
-----------------------

* cover all aspects of the conference in photos

* photos licensed under the CC BY-NC license, with a special exception
  for the EPS, so that we can use the photos for promoting the
  conference

* self-management and help with administering the Flickr group,
  uploads by other community photographers and discussions

If you are interested in helping us, please write to media at europython.eu.

 at 12:00 CEST
Message-ID: <9287a702-708c-4245-2bf8-76a537a6196a@europython.eu>

As we have already announced, access to trainings is not included in
our regular conference tickets this year. We have done this to keep
the conference ticket prices reasonable, acknowledge the value in the
trainings are and to add more flexibility.


Two full days of trainings included
-----------------------------------

Training passes allow you to access all trainings on the two training
days, Monday and Tuesday. Each training will run for 3 hours and they
will be scheduled in 3 parallel tracks.

Please note: Training access is on a first-come-first-served basis. We
don?t provide registration for specific training sessions.

A light lunch is served on the training days, which is included in the
training pass price.

* Business training pass: EUR 295.00 excl. VAT, EUR 354.00 incl. 20%
  UK VAT (for people using Python to make a living)

* Personal training pass: EUR 175.00 incl. 20% UK VAT (for people
  enjoying Python from home)

* Student training pass: EUR 125.00 incl. 20% UK VAT (only available
  for pupils, students and postdoctoral researchers; please bring your
  student card or declaration from University, stating your
  affiliation, starting and end dates of your contract)

The trainings pass does not grant you permission to attend the main
EuroPython conference days or the sprints. Please get a separate
conference ticket for this.


Available training sessions
---------------------------

We have already selected an initial set of trainings, you can view on
our session list:

  https://ep2018.europython.eu/en/events/sessions/#Training-sessions

We will also have a few sponsored trainings, which are free (you don?t
need a training pass to attend these). These will be announced in a
separate blog post.


Only a limited number of training passes available
--------------------------------------------------

Since we don?t want to overbook the trainings sessions, we have
limited the number of training passes to 200.

Training pass sales will start on Friday, June 6, at around 12:00
CEST (that?s 10:00 UTC, 11:00 BST, 13:00 EEST, etc.).

Given the experience with the early bird tickets, which sold out in
less than 45 minutes, we recommend to get your ticket as soon as you
can.

Regular conference tickets are selling out much faster than last year
as well, so the same recommendation applies to those as well:

Maybe you?ve come to EuroPython as a programmer from another language.

Or perhaps you have other tech skills or you really want to understand
what it?s like to program in Python.

	    Then come to our Beginners? Day at EuroPython.
	https://ep2018.europython.eu/en/events/beginners-day/


What is Beginners? Day ?
------------------------

Beginners? Day is a session we are running, just for newcomers to the
Python programming language, on Tuesday, July 24th from 09:30 - 16:45,
at the Edinburgh International Conference Center (EICC), the
EuroPython 2018 venue, and just in time to get you ready for all the
talks which follow on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

You will need a conference pass to attend, but otherwise, it?s free,
so if you?re thinking of coming to the conference, but you?re new to
Python or programming, this could be the session for you.

The workshop will be run by:
- Vincent D. Warmerdam (PyData Amsterdam)
- Christian Barra (EuroPython board member)


Sign up for Beginners? Day
--------------------------

Whether you?re totally new to programming or you already know another
language - this full day session will give you a crash-course in
Python, and the ecosystem around it. You?ll get the context you need
to get the most out of the rest of the EuroPython conference.

Bring your laptop, because this will be a hands-on session!

This session will be presented in English (although a few of the
coaches do speak basic Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese).

Please see the Beginners? Day page for the full program:

	https://ep2018.europython.eu/en/events/beginners-day/

If you?d like to come, please do register in advance for this session,
so that we know how to plan to make it the best yet. We need to know
the numbers for planing the workshop.

Call for Mentors
----------------

Already know Python ? Want to be a mentor ? Fantastic !

Especially if you can add an extra language to help non-English
speakers feel comfortable asking questions, or if you?ve never
mentored before and want to try to share your knowledge for the first
time.

Please sign up as a mentor on our mentor registration form:

We have great news ! After many months of sorting the UK VAT
registration issue, we have finally been registered for VAT in the
UK. This is the number, we?ve all been waiting for:

			     GB 297620469

We?ve now generated all the missing invoices for existing purchases
and hope that this will make it easier for companies to now register
their employees as well.

If you have already purchased tickets, you can find the invoices in
your account. Simply log in, go to the profile page, select ?Orders,
invoices & coupons? on the right and you should find the invoice links
for your orders.

The invoices are generated as PDFs, so you can print or archive them

Sorry for keeping you waiting so long.
