Our call for volunteers will open in mid-2026
Our call for volunteers is not open yet. We will announce
details about how to volunteer at PyCon AU 2026 closer to the
conference.
About volunteering for PyCon AU
PyCon AU is a grass-roots, community-driven event. It needs
bright, enthusiastic people - like you - to make it a success!
Volunteering at PyCon AU is a great opportunity, and can be
deeply rewarding. On a more practical note, volunteering at
PyCon AU can add to your professional portfolio in many ways -
making this an ideal opportunity for students or recent
graduates.
You will…
-
Meet exceptional people - many of whom are recognised experts
in their field and industry luminaries
-
Get great networking opportunities with people working in the
Python and open source community
-
Gain practical, hands-on experience and skills in event
management, customer liaison, public relations and operation
of audio visual equipment - which are invaluable to future
employers
What’s required of me?
We’re looking for
-
people who can help out for a majority of the conference,
working in roles such as AV or the Registration desk, in
exchange for a free ticket to the event
-
people who can help out only a little for ad-hoc tasks, but
understand that they need to have their own ticket for the
event.
What’s in it for me?
If you can help out for a majority of the conference, we’ll give
you a volunteer ticket!
Aside from that, all volunteers get:
- Warm and fuzzy feelings
-
A hearty round of applause at the conference close as we
invite you on stage to thank you for your efforts
-
Written reference covering your experience and duties - useful
for job interviews!
-
Refunds of expenses you incur in the course of volunteering
(e.g. parking costs if asked to help logistically, etc)
What you need to know.
PyCon AU operates under a clear Code of Conduct and we ask that all volunteers exemplify this during their time
volunteering during the conference. All attendees (including volunteers,
organisers, speakers and attendees) are bound by this Code of Conduct
as part of registering to attend.
