Call for Proposals
We welcome proposals from everyone. You don't need to be an expert, or an expert speaker. Below you can find out what kind of proposals we're seeking, but if you're in any doubt whether you should submit a proposal, please see...
Why you should submit a proposal
The call for proposals will close at 17:00 (Europe/London) on Friday 30th June.
Selections will be made after the CFP closes.
How to submit a more successful proposal
Main Stage Events
Speak to the wonderful PyCon UK audience!
Stand on our stage with full audio and video facilities, a large projector screen and speech to text translators transcribing every you word you say.
You can use the lectern, a wireless microphone or even go full 'Maria Carey' with an inobtrusive headset. If you need anything else, just let us know and our wonderful AV team will swing into action.
All sessions on the main stage are 30 minutes long and are recorded and uploaded to our YouTube channel.
Classroom Events
Share something you know!
We have 2 rooms set up classroom-style, with rows of tables facing the front, and capacity for about 20 people each, and one room set up with round tables, and capacity for about 50 people. Each room has a projector and screen available.
You could lead a workshop, run a tutorial, host a discussion or anything else you think our community might enjoy.
Sessions are 90 minutes long and are not recorded.
Lecture Room Events
Go a little deeper!
Our lecture room has a projector and screen and is configured in 'lecture' style with rows of seats for an audience of up to 100 people.
You could give a longer, more in-depth talk than a main stage event would permit and build in far more audience participation.
Sessions are 90 minutes long and are not recorded.
Young Coders' Events
Help young coders learn and make something!
We have part of the lower hall set up with round tables, capacity for around 30 young coders (plus their guardians) and a projector and screen.
Each young coder's 'workstation' will be set up with a raspberry pi.
You could share something with the next generation of coders. Help them find something to enjoy, and they can even show it off to the rest of the conference!
Sessions are 60 minutes long and are not recorded.
