- Tutorials May 13-14, main conference May 15-17, sprints May 18-19. The 2026 schedule added an AI track (Friday) and a Security track (Saturday). 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.
