Join us at PyCon US 2026 in Long Beach - we have new AI and security tracks this year ↗
PyCon US 2026 is scheduled for May 13–19 in Long Beach, California, with a new AI track on Friday and Security track on Saturday. The AI track, chaired by Silona Bonewald and Zac Hatfield-Dodds, covers topics including large language models on laptops, Python async patterns for AI agents, and real-time voice agents. The conference remains community-focused with over 2,000 attendees and includes lightning talks, sprints, and open-space unconference sessions.
It's the least corporate feeling large event I've ever attended.
The sprints are an incredible opportunity to contribute directly to projects that you use, coached by their maintainers.
