Our call for proposals (CFP) will open in early 2026. We run a combined CFP across all specialist tracks and the main conference. The CFP will be announced on social media and to the mailing list.

Workshops will be announced throughout 2026 in partnership with our sponsors. If you would like to run a workshop, or would like to attend a workshop on a particular topic, please reach out to sponsor@pycon.org.au with introductions or suggestions!
