PyCon DE 2027 tickets are on sale

Dear John,

🎟️ TICKETS ARE ON SALE

We truly value the trust of everyone who books early, so the first tickets come at the best price. After that, prices go up step by step on the way to April, each step with its own T-shirt edition. PyCon DE has sold out every edition for over a decade, so don't wait too long.

💙 FINANCIAL AID IS OPEN

We want PyCon DE to be open to everyone who wants to be part of it. If the cost of a ticket or travel is what stands between you and Heidelberg, apply for our Financial Aid programme by 27 December. And if you know someone who could benefit, please pass it on.

🤝 SPONSORSHIP PACKAGES ARE LIVE

PyCon DE is Europe's largest Python conference, bringing together 2,000+ practitioners who work with Python, AI, data and open source. The first sponsors have already joined, and this year the number of packages is limited.

If your company could be interested, please forward this link to the right person: https://pycon.de/sponsoring/

🛠️ CALL FOR SPRINT PROJECTS IS OPEN

After the conference days, we spend 23–24 April building together. Maintainers bring their open source projects, and contributors of every level, first-timers included, help fix bugs, add features and improve docs, side by side with the people behind the code. If you maintain a project and want to welcome new contributors, submit it now. Projects are accepted on a rolling basis, so earlier is better.
