Subject: [EuroPython] EuroPython 2020: Our Keynotes
Message-ID: <4d21ca7b-3637-fd16-dccb-990fa9464c6f@europython.eu>

We?re happy to announce our keynote lineup for EuroPython 2020.

Siddha Ganju - 30 Golden Rules of Deep Learning Performance
-----------------------------------------------------------

?Watching paint dry is faster than training my deep learning model.?
?If only I had ten more GPUs, I could train my model in time.?
?I want to run my model on a cheap smartphone, but it?s probably too
heavy and slow.?

If this sounds like you, then you might like this talk.

Exploring the landscape of training and inference, we cover a myriad of
tricks that step-by-step improve the efficiency of most deep learning
pipelines, reduce wasted hardware cycles, and make them cost-effective.
We identify and fix inefficiencies across different parts of the
pipeline, including data preparation, reading and augmentation,
training, and inference.

With a data-driven approach and easy-to-replicate TensorFlow examples,
finely tune the knobs of your deep learning pipeline to get the best out
of your hardware.  And with the money you save, demand a raise!

Naomi Ceder - Staying for the Community:
Building Community in the face of Covid-19
------------------------------------------

Python communities around the world, large and small are facing loss -
from the loss of in person meetups and conferences to the loss of
employment and even the potential loss of health and life.  As
communities we are all confronting uncertainty and unanswered questions.
In this talk I would like to reflect on some of those questions.  What
are communities doing now to preserve a sense of community in the face
of this crisis?  What might we do and what options will we have for
coming events?  How can we build and foster community and still keep
everyone safe?  What challenges might we all face in the future?  What
sources of support can we find?  What are our sources of optimism and
hope?


Alejandro Saucedo - Meditations on First Deployment:
A Practical Guide to Responsible Development
----------------------------------------------------

As the impact of software increasingly reaches farther and wider, our
professional responsibility as developers becomes more critical to
society. The production systems we design, build and maintain often
bring inherent adversities with complex technical, societal and even
ethical challenges. The skillsets required to tackle these challenges
require us to go beyond the algorithms, and require cross-functional
collaboration that often goes beyond a single developer.  In this talk
we introduce intuitive and practical insights from a few of the core
ethics themes in software including Privacy, Equity, Trust and
Transparency.  We cover their importance, the growing societal
challenges, and how organisations such as The Institute for Ethical AI,
The Linux Foundation, the Association for Computer Machinery, NumFocus,
the IEEE and the Python Software Foundation are contributing to these
critical themes through standards, policy advise and open source
software initiatives.  We finally will wrap up the talk with practical
steps that any individual can take to get involved and contribute to
some of these great open initiatives, and contribute to these critical
ongoing discussions.


EuroPython 2020 is waiting for you
----------------------------------

We?ve compiled a full program for the event:

- more than 120 sessions,
- more than 120 speakers from around the world,
- 4 brilliant keynotes,
- 2 exciting lightning talk blocks,
- 4 all-day tracks, with a whole track dedicated to data science topics,
- a poster track,
- a virtual social event,
- an after party,
- and lots of socializing on our conference platform.

Conference tickets are available on our registration page.  We hope to
see lots of you at the conference from July 23-26.  Rest assured that
we?ll make this a great event again ? even within the limitations of
running the conference online.

Subject: [EuroPython] EuroPython 2020: Please configure your tickets
Message-ID: <648c8973-4c1f-a4c0-788c-350743329363@europython.eu>

We would like to remind you how you can configure your tickets and
profiles, so that we get the right information for on-boarding you on
our Discord server in the coming days and your communication
preferences.

This is especially important in case you bought tickets for other
people. Without having the registered on our website and assigned a
ticket, we cannot on-board them to our Discord server.

Please see our blog post for screenshots:
https://blog.europython.eu/post/623636263112720384/europython-2020-please-configure-your-tickets

Log in to the website
---------------------

The first step to administer your tickets and account is to log in to
the website. If you don???t have an account yet, you can register easily
using email and password or Google authentication.

Please avoid creating multiple accounts, since this can easily cause
confusion and merging accounts is currently not possible.

Assigning tickets to other people
---------------------------------

If you are the buyer of the tickets, you can now assign the tickets to
other people, e.g. in your company.

In order to assign tickets, the people you want to assign them to need
to have an account on our system. Please tell them to register with
the EuroPython website and provide you with the email address they use
to register.

Once they have registered and you have the email address they used,
you can then go to the ticket section and reassign the ticket:

Click on ???Assign ticket??? and then enter the email address of the
person to assign the ticket to:

Clicking save will then transfer the ticket to the new user.

Configuring your ticket
-----------------------

If you have bought a ticket or have been assigned a ticket, please
check the configuration of the ticket.

This will take you to a form where you can find the name as we will
need it for the Discord registration, expected days of attendance and
a (funny) tagline to put on the badge.

Printing your invoice
---------------------

If you have bought tickets on the website, you will find the invoices
for the tickets on your account page as well:

You can download the invoice in PDF format, print and save it to your
records.

Configuring your EuroPython account
-----------------------------------

The website also provides a couple of other dialogs which allow you to
configure your account:

The ???Profile settings??? allow you to edit the profile shown on the
website. This is especially important for speakers, since their
profiles will be public and associated with their presentations.

The ???Privacy settings??? dialog allows you to opt-in to recruiting
emails from our sponsors (among other things):

If you happen to be looking for a new job or freelance opportunity,
this is a good way to get more information from sponsors who will
present in our recruiting session.

 Bloomberg
Message-ID: <164ac2a4-cd55-3690-a99c-bb6ac3330abd@europython.eu>

We are very pleased to have Bloomberg as Diamond Sponsor for EuroPython
2020. Without sponsors like Bloomberg, we wouldn't be able to make the
event affordable.

You will be able to visit their sponsor exhibit rooms and take the
opportunity to chat with their staff to learn more about the large
Python eco-system they have built internally and how they are
collaborating with the Python community.

Please read a hosted blog post from Bloomberg on our blog with full
detail:

Subject: [EuroPython] EuroPython 2020: Presenting our Conference Booklet
Message-ID: <51375c73-b698-dd5f-881d-e2df485ea513@europython.eu>

Our designer Jessica has created a beautiful conference booklet for
you to use during the conference and keep as a memory afterwards. It
provides all details, schedule, keynotes, sponsor listings, etc. in a
single PDF.

		* EuroPython 2020 Conference Booklet *

       https://ep2020.europython.eu/events/conference-booklet/

We'd normally give out the booklet as part of the conference bag, but
since we?re running the event online, we?ve put up the PDF of the
booklet instead for your to enjoy.

If you feel like there something in our program which you may benefit
from or you just want to get a feeling for what a EuroPython
conference is like, please consider joining the event.

Tickets still available
-----------------------

Even though we have surpassed the 900 tickets mark already, we still
have tickets available, both in form of the paid conference & sprint
tickets as well as the free sprints-only tickets.
