PyCon JP 2026 Day 0: Early Check-in and a Collaboration Event with “Sugoi Hiroshima with Python”

Hello! I’m Shion from the PyCon JP 2026 Attendee Management Team.

PyCon JP 2026 is just around the corner!

On Thursday, August 20, the day before the conference begins, we will hold Day 0 Early Check-in for PyCon JP 2026 attendees.

We will also open a drop-in community space in collaboration with the Hiroshima-based Python community “Sugoi Hiroshima with Python.”

Whether you are arriving in Hiroshima before the conference or already live in Hiroshima or the surrounding area, we would love to see you there!

Check in early on Day 0

A large number of attendees arrive at the registration desk on the morning of the first conference day.

At last year’s PyCon JP, around 300 attendees checked in during the first hour after the doors opened.

By completing your check-in on Day 0, you can avoid the registration queue on the morning of Day 1 and start enjoying the conference at a more relaxed pace.

Already arriving in Hiroshima the day before the conference? Live nearby and able to stop by after work? Please take advantage of our Early Check-in!

Early Check-in details

• Date and time: Thursday, August 20, 2026, 18:00–20:00

• Location: Registration area in front of the Ran and Cosmos rooms, Basement Level 2, International Conference Center Hiroshima

Collaboration event with “Sugoi Hiroshima with Python”

Alongside Early Check-in, we will host a drop-in community space in collaboration with the Hiroshima Python community “Sugoi Hiroshima with Python.”

Everyone is welcome, whether or not you are attending PyCon JP 2026. No advance registration is required, and you are free to come and go during the event.

You can stop by after completing Early Check-in, attend only the community event, or join us briefly after work.

Come and chat about Python, meet members of the local Hiroshima community, and connect with other participants in a relaxed setting.

• Location: Cosmos room, Basement Level 2, International Conference Center Hiroshima, near the registration area

• Participation: Open to everyone, regardless of whether you are attending PyCon JP 2026

A taste of Hiroshima awaits

At the collaboration space, we’ll also have a local Hiroshima treat for you to enjoy!

Enjoy a local treat while chatting about Python and connecting with members of the Hiroshima community and other participants. We hope it will help you get excited for PyCon JP 2026, starting the following day.

Preparations for the conference will also be underway at the venue, so you might catch a glimpse of a slightly different, behind-the-scenes atmosphere of PyCon JP on the day before the conference.

We look forward to welcoming you in Hiroshima!
