Call for Communities to Exhibit at the PyCon JP 2026 Community Booths

Hello, this is Makino from the PyCon JP 2026 Program Team.

At PyCon JP 2026, we would like to create even more opportunities for communities to connect with one another and with conference participants.

As a new initiative this year, we are introducing a special area at the venue: Community Booths!

Instead of poster presentations, communities will be able to exhibit at booths and interact directly with participants.

Each booth will be provided with a table and chairs. We hope this will become a place where people can enjoy conversations, ask questions, share experiences, and build connections that continue even after the conference.

What Can You Do at a Community Booth?

• Introduce your community’s regular activities or demonstrate OSS projects you are developing
• Share ideas and discuss questions such as “How do you run your community?”
• Enjoy casual conversations about Python and community activities

If your community would like to let more people know about your activities, meet new members, or connect with communities from other regions or fields, we warmly encourage you to apply!

About Applications

We are now looking for communities to exhibit at the Community Booths. Applications from local communities in Japan are very welcome, and we also warmly welcome applications from overseas communities. The application form is available in both Japanese and English.

Eligible Communities

Eligible communities are those that are involved in Python-related activities and have a record of ongoing activities such as study groups, collaborative development or OSS development.

Please note that newly formed groups that only have future activity plans and do not yet have any activity record are not eligible.

Important Notes

• Exhibitors at the Community Booths are required to purchase a ticket for PyCon JP 2026. Even if your booth application is accepted, all exhibitors must purchase conference tickets.
• If we receive a large number of applications, exhibitors may be selected by lottery. We appreciate your understanding.
• We are planning to set “core times” during the conference. These will be time slots when participants are especially likely to visit the booth area, such as lunch breaks or coffee breaks.
• During the planned core times, we kindly ask that at least one community member be present at the booth whenever possible, so that participants can enjoy interacting with your community.
