Python Brazil 2026: Call for Proposals

Python Brasil 2026 is committed to offering a diverse schedule of activities in terms of levels and topics. If you are reading this and are interested in conducting an activity at the event, we want you to submit a proposal!

Everyone is encouraged to submit a proposal for an activity, regardless of their technical experience level or the topic of the activity.

Types of Activities

The activities at Python Brasil 2026 will take place from October 14 to 19 in person in Florianópolis (SC), and the content will be streamed live on an online platform.

As in previous editions, we will have three types of activities: tutorials, talks, and sprints.

  • Tutorials are practical mini-courses where participants are expected to follow along on their own computers.
    • They will take place between October 14 and 15.
    • Two possible durations: short (3.5h) and long (7h). Short tutorials will last one session (morning or afternoon), and long tutorials will span both sessions with a break in between (lunch not included).
  • Talks are for presenting a topic to the audience, with a Q&A session at the end.
    • They will take place between October 16 and 18.
    • Duration of 45 minutes.
  • Sprints are collaborative activities for contributing to open-source projects.
    • They will take place on October 19.
    • The space dedicated to sprints will be available all day. We define 7 hours as the standard duration, as it represents the sprint being available all day, but this is just a formality. We will be available to adjust schedules according to your availability.

General Information

  • This form is unique for all 3 types of activities at the event, meaning if you want to submit a proposal for any of the activities, proceed with filling out the information.

  • You may submit multiple proposals, but a maximum of 1 activity of each type per proposer will be selected.

  • There is no evaluation or limit for sprint submissions, as it is expected that the proposer will lead and organize the sprint for the suggested project, with support from the event organizers.

  • It is allowed for two people to present the same activity. There is a field to add co-authors, so one person fills out the form with their personal information and the content of the proposal, and adds the co-author in the designated field. The second person will receive an email invitation to fill out their personal information.

Guide for Activity Submissions

All content for the activity, including slides or any other presentation materials, must be appropriate for a professional audience. Prohibited content includes sexual language or imagery, and any prejudiced expressions that defame or diminish people based on race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, physical appearance, disability, or other factors. The event values diversity and respect for all people.

Respect the allotted time for your activity. This will be your total time, including audience interaction, Q&A, giveaways, or any other activities.

It is expected that all event participants read and agree with the Code of Conduct of Python Brasil.

How Will Your Talk or Tutorial Be Evaluated?

Only talks and tutorials will be evaluated. There will be no evaluation for sprints; the organizers will only validate whether the submitted proposal aligns with the objectives of this type of activity.

To make the evaluation process more transparent and engage the community, we invite everyone who submitted activities to participate in the evaluation process.

After many editions of Python Brasil, we have developed an evaluation model with criteria that we believe are consistent with the event. A more detailed description of the criteria is available at this link, but below is a summary.

  1. Familiarity of the evaluator with the topic of the proposal (used as a weight for the following questions).
  2. Quality of the written content.
  3. Originality of the proposal.
  4. Whether the proposal contains errors or misleads participants.
  5. Alignment of the topic with the event.

After the community evaluation stage, the event organizers will make the final selection.

Review and Acceptance Timeline

The proposal review process will take place on a rolling basis throughout the entire Call for Papers period.

An initial round of reviews will result in the first acceptances, corresponding to approximately 25% of the selected activities, with notifications expected by April 26. This stage aims to allow part of the program to be defined in advance, while also giving proposers more time to organize their participation in the event.

After the Call for Papers closes, all remaining proposals will be reviewed, and the remaining acceptances will be communicated by the final date of June 21. After the confirmation deadline, there may be remaining slots, and a final round of acceptances may be necessary.

We encourage submitting your proposal early, as early submissions increase the chances of acceptance. If a proposal is not selected in the first round, there will still be time to revise and improve it before the final evaluation.
