The EuroPython 2016 Team is ready for starting the organization of next year’s event.
If you would like to actively help with the organization, we’d love to have you as volunteer in one of our workgroups. Please see the EuroPython Workgroups page for how to sign up.
On-site Team WG
One of the workgroups, the on-site team workgroup, is especially important, since they provide the services and management on-site in Bilbao, as well as in the case of EuroPython 2016, also take on a major role in the financial and legal infrastructure of the conference organization.
This team is your contact in case you have questions related to on-site setups.

We will run a separate announcement for on-site volunteers closer to the event.
