Subject: [PSF-Community] EuroPython 2017: Early-bird Tickets now on sale!
Message-ID: <144afa86-90b0-3a61-7c11-e877109c2a53@python.org>

Interested in attending EuroPython? Entry tickets are now on sale and
available on our website.

		  *** Buy your EuroPython ticket ***

      https://ep2017.europython.eu/en/registration/buy-tickets/


Tickets for EuroPython will be sold in three phases:

First, we?ll have a short early-bird ticket phase, where we?ll sell
tickets at a very low rate. Only 200 tickets will be available for
this rate, so be quick. It usually takes just a few days for them to
sell out.

We?ll then switch to the regular rates, and closer to the conference,
to the on-desk rates.

You can get tickets for the whole week, if you don?t want to miss
anything, or buy day passes at the on-desk rates in July to attend
only one or two days.

We further offer three different rates: ?students? (including PhD and
postdoc researchers), ?personal? and ?business? passes (for
companies). Speakers and trainers will benefit of special discounts.
See Call for Proposals for further details:

    https://ep2017.europython.eu/en/call-for-proposals/

Take this opportunity and get your ticket now! Prices will increase
the closer we get to the event.


Enjoy,

Hi all,

I'm delighted to announce uk.python.org, a new website that brings together
news and events from the Python community in the UK.  We're also sending
out a monthly newsletter, which you can sign up to via the website.

If you're in the UK and run a regular meetup, are putting on an event that
you'd like us to publicise, or have other news you'd like to share, please
let me know!

All the best,

Peter.
