I don't see the problem. In my view EuroPython is the big event in
Europe. If you can
go to only one conference and you have the possibility to travel to
Vilnius, then go to EuroPython.
The national conferences are of interest primarily for people of that
national (of course, not
exclusively). I would be happy with a conference for any nationality.
Each nation will have
its national speakers. EuroPython will have all Europe to chose
speakers from.
BTW, this year I will go both to PyCon It and EuroPython, last year I
went both to
PyUK and EuroPython. The more, the better ;)
