Call for Proposals — PyCon Indonesia 2026

About PyCon Indonesia

PyCon Indonesia is the annual gathering for Python enthusiasts across the country and beyond — a place where developers, data scientists, educators, hobbyists, and newcomers come together to learn, share, and connect. Whether you're writing your first line of Python or building complex systems with it, PyCon ID is where ideas flourish and friendships form.

We believe that conferences are more than just talks — they’re about people. That’s why our 2026 theme is:

> Collaborative Intelligence

This year, PyCon ID 2026 will be held in Jakarta on 8-9 August 2026, and we’re excited to invite you to be a part of it — as a speaker!

Our organizing team is made up of professionals, entrepreneurs, hobbyists, and students from across Indonesia, reflecting the rich diversity of our community. Whether you’re local or international, experienced or new to speaking, we’re working hard to create a warm and inclusive conference where everyone can have a great time and grow together.

Speak at PyCon ID 2026

We’re now accepting Call for Proposals (CFP) — and we want to hear from you!

We welcome talks from all experience levels — beginner, intermediate, or advanced — and across all areas of Python: development, data, web, DevOps, hardware, education, community, and beyond. Your talk can be a technical deep dive, a tutorial, a case study, or a story about how Python empowered you or your team. If it's interesting to you, chances are it will be valuable to others too.

You don’t need to be a seasoned speaker — we value authentic stories and useful insights over polished slides. First-time speakers are especially encouraged to submit!
