⚡ PyCon DE & PyData 2025 Lightning Talk Rules

Community Event Announcements

• ⏱ You want to announce a community event? You have ONE minute.
• All event announcements will be collected in a slide slide deck.

All other LTs:

• ⏱ You have exactly 5 minutes. The clock starts when you start — and ends when time’s up. That’s the thrill of Lightning Talks ⚡
• 🎯 Be sharp, clear, and fun. Introduce your idea, make your point, give the audience something to remember. No pressure. (Okay, maybe a little.)
• 🎲 You must include at least one entry from the official Bingo Card list. Every audience member will receive a Bingo card — and they’ll be watching 👀 Your job? Choose at least one Bingo item from the official Bingo Card list - https://pycon.de/bingocard - and drop it into your talk. Subtly or dramatically — your style.
• 🐍 Keep it relevant to Python (or the Python community). You can go broad — tools, workflows, stories, experiments — as long as there’s some connection to Python.
• 👏 Keep it respectful. Keep it awesome. Humor is welcome, but please be kind, inclusive, and professional.
• 🎤 Be ready when your name is called. We’re running a tight session — speakers go on stage rapid-fire. Stay close and stay hyped.
• 🏆 Bonus prizes may be awarded. Best talk, best Bingo moment, most unexpected Hogwarts reference... who knows what could happen?
