Attend PyCon US for a day of Trailblazing Python Security!

PyCon US is coming to Long Beach, California in 2026. This year for the first time ever there is a day-long talk track devoted to the latest in Python security. This new talk track is titled “Trailblazing Python Security”, and we have 11 Python security experts covering all angles of security from Actions to Zero-Trust including Software Bill-of-Materials, phishing, FedRAMP, Rust, and more.

Our goal with the Trailblazing Python Security track is to create a space where developers, security practitioners, and open source contributors can learn from one another and discuss the problems and solutions for securing Python software and infrastructure.

Whether you're developing web applications, infrastructure, security, working with data, or just getting started with Python: there's something for everyone to learn about how to securely build with Python.

We hope to see you at PyCon US 2026 in Long Beach to learn from experts and shape the future of Python security landscape.

If your organization wants to support security in the Python ecosystem, we are accepting sponsors for the inaugural security talk track at PyCon US. Send an email to sponsors@python.org for more information.
