    Who can participate?
    --------------------

    Any registered attendee of EuroPython 2021 with a paid ticket, as well
    as attendees of one of the past EuroPython conferences (going back to
    2015) can vote. If you have submitted a proposal this year, you are also eligible to vote.

    If you have not attended EuroPython before, but want to participate in
    talk voting, you have to buy a ticket before you can vote:

    How talk voting works
    ---------------------

    The talk voting interface lists all submitted proposals, including
    talks, helpdesks and posters. You can then vote on the proposal you'd
    like to see at the event.

    Details on the voting process are described on our talk voting page.


    Talk Selection
    --------------

    After the talk voting phase, the EuroPython Program Workgroup (WG) will
    use the votes to select the talks and build a schedule.

    The talk voting is a good and strong indicator of what attendees are
    interested to see. Submissions are also selected based on editorial
    criteria, for example, to increase diversity, give a chance to less
    mainstream topics and make sure that topics don't overlap too much.

    In general, the Program WG will try to give as many speakers a chance to
    talk as possible. If speakers have submitted multiple talks, the one
    with the highest rating will most likely get selected.


    Quick Summary
    -------------
    EuroPython 2021 will be run online from July 26 - August 1:

    - Two workshop/training days (July 26 - 27)
    - Three conference days (July 28 - 30)
    - Two sprint days (July 31 - August 1)

    The sessions will be scheduled to ensure they are also accessible for
    those in the Asian and Americas time zones.
