Selection Process
To ensure our programme reflects our diverse community, submissions go through up to four rounds of review and refinement before the final programme is announced:
- NEW! Feedback on proposal (first 100 proposals submitted only): The first 100 proposals will be quickly screened by the programme team, and any feedback we have for possible improvements will be given. This will be done within the CfP submission window to allow you to make changes to your proposal. Please note that this is a one-off review and is distinct from the mentoring program.
- Community voting: Open to all 2015–2025 EuroPython conference ticket holders and anyone who proposes a talk for the 2025 conference. This helps us judge the uniqueness, specificity, popularity, and appeal of each proposal.
- Panel feedback: A diverse group of experienced reviewers evaluates submissions within their area of expertise, offering insights that help the programme team assess the balance, quality, and diversity of the programme.
- Programme team: These volunteers curate the final programme based on the results of community voting and panel feedback. They also ensure we meet editorial criteria such as diversity, depth, and breadth of topics and speakers.
