Subject: [EuroPython] EuroPython 2021: Talk Voting is Open
Message-ID: <f91b9e53-0001-48a4-b878-cf9ec0319733@europython.eu>

Talk voting is your chance to tell us what you?d like to see at
EuroPython 2021. We will leave talk voting open until:

                    Sunday, May 23, 23:59:59 CEST

In order to vote, please log in to the website and navigate to the talk
voting page:

                   * EuroPython 2021 Talk Voting *

           https://ep2021.europython.eu/events/talk-voting/


Who can participate?
--------------------

Any registered attendee of EuroPython 2021 with a paid ticket, as well
as attendees of one of the past EuroPython conferences (going back to
2015) can vote. If you have submitted a proposal this year, you are also
eligible to vote.

If you have not attended EuroPython before, but want to participate in
talk voting, you have to buy a ticket before you can vote:

https://ep2021.europython.eu/registration/buy-tickets/


How talk voting works
---------------------

The talk voting interface lists all submitted proposals, including
talks, helpdesks and posters. You can then vote on the proposal you'd
like to see at the event.

Details on the voting process are described on our talk voting page.


Talk Selection
--------------

After the talk voting phase, the EuroPython Program Workgroup (WG) will
use the votes to select the talks and build a schedule.

The talk voting is a good and strong indicator of what attendees are
interested to see. Submissions are also selected based on editorial
criteria, for example, to increase diversity, give a chance to less
mainstream topics and make sure that topics don't overlap too much.

In general, the Program WG will try to give as many speakers a chance to
talk as possible. If speakers have submitted multiple talks, the one
with the highest rating will most likely get selected.


Quick Summary
-------------
EuroPython 2021 will be run online from July 26 - August 1:

- Two workshop/training days (July 26 - 27)
- Three conference days (July 28 - 30)
- Two sprint days (July 31 - August 1)

The sessions will be scheduled to ensure they are also accessible for
those in the Asian and Americas time zones.

In the coming weeks, we will complete the session list, adding keynotes,
sponsored talks and training sessions. Once finalized, we expect to have

The program work group will start working on the schedule, which should
be ready in about two weeks.

Conference tickets are available on our registration page. We have
several ticket types available to make the conference affordable for
everyone and we're also offering financial aid to increase our reach
even more.
