Sign-up for volunteer roles is done directly through the PyCon US website. This way, you can view and manage shifts you sign up for through your personal dashboard! You can read up on the different roles to volunteer for and how to sign up on the PyCon US website.
PyCon US is largely organized and run by volunteers. Every year, we ask to fill over 300 onsite volunteer hours to ensure everything runs smoothly at the event. And the best part? You don't need to commit a lot of time to make a difference– some shifts are as short as one hour long! You can sign up for as many or as few shifts as you’d like. Even a couple of hours of your time can go a long way in helping us create an amazing experience for attendees.
Keep in mind that you need to be registered for the event to sign up for a volunteer role.One important way to get involved is to sign up as a Session Chair or Session Runner. This is an excellent opportunity to meet and interact with speakers while helping to ensure that sessions run smoothly. And who knows, you might just learn something new along the way! You can sign up for these roles directly on the Talks schedule.
Volunteer your time at PyCon US 2024 and you’ll be part of a fantastic community that's passionate about Python programming and help us make this year's conference a huge success. Sign up today for the shifts that call to you and join the fun!
Hatchery Program
First introduced in 2018, the Hatchery program offers the pathways for PyCon US attendees to introduce new tracks, activities, summits, demos, etc., at the conference—activities that all share and fulfill the Python Software Foundation’s mission within the PyCon US schedule.
Since its introduction, this program has “hatched” several new tracks that are now staples of our conference, including PyCon US Charlas, Mentored Sprints, and the Maintainer’s Summit. This year, we’ve received eight very compelling proposals. After careful consideration, we have selected four new programs, each of them unique and focus on different aspects of the Python community.
