During PyCon Greece 2026 we're running a Poster Session for the first time. It's a chance to present your work (a project, a tool, an idea, research) and talk about it directly with other attendees, in small groups, at your own pace.
The session is held in the sponsors area so everyone can see the posters, with a dedicated block where you'll be at your board to present and answer questions. It's a good fit for topics that benefit from discussion rather than a straight talk, and for things that are still in progress.
The poster should fit in an A0. The organizing team will take care of the printing. Thumb tacks are provided, and power is available on request for demos.
A poster proposal may include one additional author (limit of 2 per poster). The primary author submits first, then adds the second author through the submission system. You may only be listed on one poster proposal, whether as primary or co-author.
Any Python-related topic is welcome. If you're not sure whether your idea fits, consider attending our office hours to get feedback.
There are five parts to a poster proposal:
If your proposal is accepted, you'll need to design and print your poster. Some tips:
What is a poster session?
Each presenter gets a board to display their work. During the session, attendees walk around and stop at the posters that interest them. You present to small groups, answer questions, and have real back-and-forth conversations. It's quite different from giving a talk.
Can I submit both a poster and a talk?
Yes. Each format works differently, and a topic can work well in both. If your talk isn't accepted, your proposal may still be a good fit for a poster. There is a limit of three proposals per person across all types.
How polished does the poster need to be?
The session is about conversation, not production value. That said, a polished presentation attracts the attention of the audience.
Can I present in Greek?
The poster should be in English. But during the conversation you can pick the most appropriate language for your audience.
Where can I print my poster in Athens?
The organizing team will take care of the posters' print.
Submitting your proposal can feel daunting. So, this year, PyCon Greece is offering a mentorship program and office hours to help prospective speakers at any stage of the process. Whether you have a rough idea you want to shape into a proposal, or a draft you'd like feedback on before submitting, our experienced volunteers are here to help. Reach out, and let's get your talk on stage.
You can find more information about our mentorship program on our website.
Or you can book a slot in our weekly office hours on Google Calendar.
