PyCon DE & PyData 2026 Thought the Eyes of a First Time Attendee

The 2026 edition of the German Python Conference, also known as PyCon DE & PyData 2026, took place in Darmstad near Frankfurt on 14-16 April 2026. This was my first time attending PyCon DE and I felt very welcome. In this post, I share a couple of highlights of my days at PyCon DE 2026.

1st Day

The conference started with a vibrant welcome by Alexander CS Hendorf. From the opening speech, I love the emphasis that Alexander gave to the spirit of community: “when things change fast, people who help each other have the advantage” and “we are a community that gets things done”.
