We’re delighted to launch Early Bird ticket sales and workshops for Kiwi PyCon 2025! 🐦
Get in before August 17th to secure your place in our workshops and the main conference days at exclusive Early Bird rates 😻
Kiwi PyCon is once again being held at Shed 6, on the incomparable Wellington Waterfront
- Workshops – Friday 21st November
- Main Conference – Saturday 22nd November / Sunday 23rd November
Workshops 🛠️
This year, workshops can be purchased as a standalone event, separate from the main conference days. We hope this will accommodate folks who only wish to attend the workshops or are unable to make it on weekend days.
On Friday, 21st November, we’re excited to be hosting two full-day workshops.
- A crash course ideal for beginners and non-developer professionals who are interested in learning enough practical, real-world Python to enhance their personal and professional skills.
- Back by popular demand, a full-day workshop on hardware programming with MicroPython for tinkerers and Pythonistas
More details about each workshop will added here: https://kiwipycon.nz/programme/friday-workshops
Main conference 🌟
We’re looking forward to welcoming our Python whanau from New Zealand and abroad back to Te Whanganui-a-Tara for two full days of learning, socialising and coming together as a community to talk about all things Python, Technology, Community, and whatever delightful and bizarre topics are proposed as Lightning talks.
⚡Yes, there will be lightning talks ⚡
The full Kiwi PyCon Event Schedule will be made available once the CFP has closed and talks are confirmed; we’re just waiting on your proposals 😻
A note on catering for 2025 🍜
We’d also like to mention that this year, we’re sending attendees out to explore Wellington’s vibrant waterfront and myriad diverse eateries during an extended 2-hour lunch break.
