August – ⏰ Deadlines Around the Corner – Kiwi PyCon 2025

Kia ora Python whānau,

Our Call for Presentations (CFP) for Kiwi PyCon 2025 has been quietly gathering brilliant ideas for weeks… but now we’re in the home stretch.

⏳ CFP closes on 21 August (AoE) — less than a week away!

If your idea’s been simmering on the back burner, this is the week to bring it to a boil. Whether it’s a mind-bending hack, a fresh take on an old problem, or a joyful side project that makes people grin, we want it on stage. First-time speaker? Even better — your perspective is exactly what makes Kiwi PyCon magic.

Let’s make this year’s programme the most diverse, creative, and energising yet. Submit your proposal today and join the line-up that will have the whole conference buzzing.

🐍 Kiwi PyCon 2025

Where & When
📍 Shed 6, Wellington Waterfront
🛠 Workshops – Friday 21 November
🌟 Main Conference – Saturday 22 & Sunday 23 November

Workshops 🛠

This year, workshops can be purchased separately from the main conference – perfect if you just want a deep dive on Friday or can’t make it for the weekend.

We’ve got:

Python Crash Course – ideal for beginners and non-developers keen to get practical, real-world Python skills under their belt.
MicroPython for Tinkerers – back by popular demand for all the hardware-curious Pythonistas.

Details here: Friday Workshops Programme

Main Conference 🌟

Two days of talks, hallway chats, lightning talks (yes, ⚡they’re back⚡), and the wonderful randomness that happens when the Python community gathers in Te Whanganui-a-Tara.

Lunchtime Adventures 🍜

In 2025, we’re doing something a little different: a 2-hour lunch break so you can roam Wellington’s waterfront and explore its incredible eateries.
