Behind every PyCon DE & PyData program is a vast amount of invisible effort that makes it all possible.
Before a single talk appears on the schedule, hundreds of proposals are carefully read, evaluated, and discussed. This process is what helps us build a program that is not only diverse, but also relevant, practical, and valuable for the community.
And this work would not be possible without our reviewers.
Each proposal goes through multiple reviews.
Reviewers assess:
They don’t just score submissions — they provide context, voice concerns, highlight strong ideas, and help the Program Committee make informed decisions.
It’s a thoughtful and time-consuming process, done alongside their full-time jobs.

A strong program doesn’t happen by chance.
It’s the result of many careful decisions, different perspectives, and a shared commitment to quality.
