Speakers: every talk and charla (Spanish-language track) on the talks schedule, plus individual keynote speakers. Left out: tutorials, sponsor presentations and workshops, posters, lightning talks, summits, open spaces and sprints. Group keynote sessions (the Python Steering Council panel, D&I panel, PSF update) are not listed as speakers. Affiliations come from speaker-profile bios on us.pycon.org, and only where a bio names a current employer or university outright. Otherwise they are null. Video URLs were matched by title against the PyCon US YouTube recordings. Talks with no confident match have null. Sponsor tiers are the PSF sponsorship levels shown on the PyCon US sponsor page. Sponsorship: PSF prospectus (Feb 2026) prices are recorded as sponsorship prices; the 'Job Fair Only' package price is printed as '$XXXX' and is left out. The prospectus cites '2500+ attendees' for PyCon US.
