We will leave talk voting open until: * Friday, May 17 23:59:59 CEST * In order to vote, please log in to the website and then navigate to the talk voting page: * https://ep2019.europython.eu/events/talk-voting/ * How talk voting works --------------------- The talk voting page lists all submitted proposals, including talks, trainings and posters. The proposals are sorted in random order. In order to vote, have a look at the title/abstract and then indicate your personal interest in attending this session. We have simplified the voting process and you may choose between these four options: - must see - want to see - maybe - not interested The talks you haven?t voted for are marked "no vote". Your votes are automatically saved to the backend without the need to click on a save or submit button. Please note the voting period is a bit shorter this year. We want to make up some time and release a first selection of accepted proposals by May 22. Who can participate ? --------------------- Any registered attendee of the current EuroPython as well as any attendee of one of the past EuroPython conferences going back to 2015 can vote. If you have submitted a proposal this year, you are also eligible to vote. Talk Selection -------------- After the talk voting phase, the EuroPython Program Workgroup (WG) will use the votes to select the talks and build a schedule. The talk voting is a good and strong indicator what attendees are interested to see. Submissions are also selected based on editorial criteria to e.g. increase diversity, giving a chance to less mainstream topics as well as avoiding too much of the same topic. In general, the Program WG will try to give as many speakers a chance to talk as possible. If speakers have submitted multiple talks, the one with the highest rating will most likely get selected. Dates and Venues ---------------- EuroPython will be held from July 8-14 2019 in Basel, Switzerland, at the Congress Center Basel (BCC) for the main conference days (Wed-Fri) and the FHNW Muttenz for the workshops/trainings/sprints days (Mon-Tue, Sat-Sun).
