Let's go through it chronologically +and tell you a bit more about the efforts and people behind it. + +## EuroPython Society Board 🏛️ + +Before the conference preparations even start, a board is elected annually. The +board manages the day-to-day operations of the EPS, the non-profit behind the +series. They're responsible for fiscal and legal work, as well as making the +conference happen. That includes picking a location, finding a suitable venue, +local lawyers and accountants. + +Finally, the board finds leads and builds teams of volunteers to work in +different areas. + +The board members for the 2026 conference are: + +- Anders Hammarquist +- Angel Ramboi +- Aris Nivorlis +- Artur Czepiel +- Ege Akman +- Mia Bajić +- Yuliia Barabash + +## Team Anežka 💪 + +- Anežka Müller + +Following our successful collaboration last year, Anežka continued to provide +support this year too as our event manager. + +She handled communication with all suppliers, relieving volunteers and board +members of logistical tasks. She coordinated with the venue, catering, speakers' +dinner, social events, sprints venue, booth builders, t-shirts, stickers, and +numerous other smaller suppliers. + +We are deeply grateful to Anežka for her invaluable work and all the support she +provided throughout the year. + +## Programme 📅 + +This team manages the Call for Proposals, Community Voting, Proposals Screening, +Panels, final selection of the Talks, Tutorials, Posters, Scheduling, Keynotes, +Open Spaces, and all the last minute cancellations 😅. + +- Cristián Maureira-Fredes +- Diego Russo +- Maria José Molina Contreras +- Marina Moro Lopez +- Naa Nortey +- Rodrigo Girão Serrão + +## Speaker Mentorship 🎓 + +In parallel with the Call for Proposals, we kick off the Speaker Mentorship +Programme. It's designed to help new and less experienced speakers submit +proposals and, if accepted, build their confidence and prepare their talks. + +- Naa Nortey + +## Communications 📧 + +The Communications team works year-round, however they are at their busiest +during the conference week itself. Daily updates, monthly newsletters, Wi-Fi +passwords, venue maps, and website copy are all things produced by this +incredible team. There are quite a few more forms of communication that we +didn't yet mention. Unsurprisingly, they all come under the Communications +remit, too! + +- Daria Linhart Grudzien +- Andrew Northall +- Celina Czyszczon +- Mia Bajić +- Sangarshanan Veera + +## Design 🎨 + +The Design team is responsible for producing high quality artwork and visual +content, especially the EuroPython social media posts that accompany the +communications copy written by the Communications team. They work closely with +Communications to ensure all visual deliverables are on-brand and polished. + +- Mia Bajić +- Daksh P. Jain + +## Infrastructure 💻 + +Thanks to our local superstar for his all-round help. + +- Marcin Wierzbanowski + +## EuroPython Advocacy 🗣️ + +- Maciej Majewski + +This role is crucial for spreading the word about EuroPython and building +excitement in the local community. With EuroPython 2026 taking place in Krakow, +we were fortunate to have Maciej Majewski as our advocate. As the organiser of +PyData Krakow, Maciej helped us build local support. + +## Sponsorship 🤝 + +The conference runs from ticket sales and sponsorships. The Sponsors Team +contacts sponsors early, manages contracts, invoices, logistics and ensures all +deliverables are fulfilled by other teams. + +- Kshitijaa Jaglan +- Angel Ramboi +- Artur Czepiel +- Iryna Kondrashchenko +- Oleh Kostromin +- Raquel Dou + +## Financial Aid 💰 + +This team manages financial aid applications, selects recipients, handles +communications, and ensures invoices are submitted: + +- Theofanis Petkos +- Aris Nivorlis +- Doreen Peace Nangira Wanyama +- Panagiotis Skias +- Raquel Dou + +## Operations ⚙️ + +This is the largest team, divided into several smaller teams.
