Job Fair and Community Showcase
In previous years, we have had an amazing turnout at our Job Fair. Many companies found good prospects during the half-day event, some receiving hundreds of resumes in a short time.
The Job Fair and Community Showcase will be open to the public as well as conference ticket holders. Tickets are available via the PyCon US registration system. This opens up new opportunities to reach the local dev scene, schools, and user groups and increases the Job Fair and Community Showcase audience with quality candidates.

Startup Row
Every year, we feature some of the best early-stage startups that use Python on Startup Row at PyCon US.
Come visit the Startup Row in PyCon US 2026’s Expo Hall on May 14th-16th, 2026 to see some of the best young companies pitch their startup ideas, and to learn how they are using Python to make an impact. It’s this next generation of Python startups who will continue to build up our community, so let’s show them the support they deserve! Learn more about Startup Row.
Community Booths
Come say hi and learn more about other organizations and projects in the open source community at our Community Booths. Nonprofits and open source projects will be selected to have a free community booth. Check back soon for information on which groups will be represented!
Poster Presentations
During PyCon US 2026, we will celebrate projects large and small through our Poster Session, where dozens of creators will get to interact one-on-one with conference attendees.
For PyCon US 2026, posters will be displayed during open Expo Hall hours (May 14th-16th, 2026) as well as a designated plenary Poster Session during the Job Fair (May 17, 2026).
During the session, speakers stand with their posters, and the audience circulates freely, seeking out the particular presentations they are interested in and talking directly to the presenter in small groups.
Join us in the Expo Hall and see what your fellow Pythonistas have been up to!
