Who attends PyCon US?
PyCon US attracts a unique audience of Python users and community members, from beginners just learning the language to the leading developers in the field to community organizers to the contributors who guide the development of the language itself. Check out our 2025 recap to learn about who attended the last PyCon US.
Every year, we hear from sponsors and other attendees that the people they meet at PyCon US are the most engaged conference audience they’ve encountered, that they have conversations there they don’t have anywhere else, and that, without exaggeration, the course of their lives has been changed by encounters at the event.
PyCon US is a diverse conference dedicated to providing an enjoyable experience to everyone. Help us ensure this by following our Code of Conduct.
Who makes PyCon US possible?
PyCon US is the largest and longest-running annual gathering for the community using and developing the open-source Python programming language. It is produced and underwritten by the Python Software Foundation, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing and promoting Python and its community. Through PyCon US, the PSF advances its mission of growing the international community of Python programmers.
PyCon US is run by the PSF, and the revenue generated by PyCon US is essential to our continued community support and operations. Because the PSF is a nonprofit, we keep PyCon US registration costs much lower than comparable technology conferences. Our goal is for PyCon US to remain accessible to the widest group possible. The PSF also develops the software that runs PyCon US and makes it available under a liberal open source license.
As a nonprofit organization, the PSF depends on our generous Sponsors and donors to make PyCon US and the rest of our work supporting the Python ecosystem possible. Learn more about sponsoring the PSF and PyCon US here and apply to Sponsor today, or donate directly to the PSF.
We can’t wait to celebrate PyCon US with you– see you in Long Beach!
