Note:

PyCon Ireland is a community-run event, organized entirely by volunteers. To maintain the integrity and inclusivity of our conference, we ask that all speakers, like organizers, purchase a ticket. However, we understand that this may be a barrier for some, so we offer financial aid on a per-request basis to ensure everyone has the opportunity to participate.

We look forward to your submissions and can't wait to see the incredible talks you'll bring to PyCon Ireland 2024!
