EuroPython 2014 in the bcc Berlin Congress Center

Organisers expect up to 1,200 attendees

The next EuroPython will be held from July 21 - 27 2014 in the bcc Berlin Congress Center at the heart of Berlin. After the Pycon US, the EuroPython is the second largest global conference for this popular programming language. The bcc is located at the central Alexander Square and with its 3,000 m2 offers ideal facilities for a developer conference. The organiser of the event, the Python Software Verband e.V, is expecting up to 1,200 participants. The EuroPython in Berlin would then beat the previous attendance record of Florence, Italy, which hosted the EuroPython this year for the third time running and attracted almost 900 Python enthusiasts.

Berlin offers ideal conditions for a large international developer conference. The city with its about 2,500 young businesses has a large and fast-growing start-up scene. 300 universities, polytechnics, research institutes and technology parks underline Berlin's importance as one of Europe's leading science and research locations. Thanks to its rich cultural landscape with around 180 museums, renowned international art collections and precious works of art as well as a lively art and music scene, Berlin is one of the most vibrant and vividly creative metropolitan centres in Europe. The city's attractions and the excellent national and international transport links have already put Berlin among the top three in the international conference and congress region rankings.

The conference will be organised locally by the Python Users Berlin, the Django User Group Berlin and the PyLadies Berlin. With five lecture tracks and two tutorial tracks running in parallel, the EuroPython conference offers a closely-meshed schedule for all attendees. Tickets will be available in January.

The EuroPython logo expresses what is on the organiser's minds, which is getting people from very different areas of expertise together to communicate. Python is used as a programming language in industrial and service enterprises as well as in research and teaching. The EuroPython brings together developers who work together on fascinating tasks and as a result have found unique solutions to their problems.
