 Hi, so it's that time of day again. It's that's time of the conference again the clothing fashion You're Python 2021 is almost over We still have the sprints ago, and I will have a slide on that one as well. It was the 20th Europe Python conference I think it was an extreme good success. We had more than 2100 tickets registered a Huge number for an online event. I think we last year we had about half of that maybe a bit more And yeah, I'm gonna go through Some slides now to thank everyone who needs to be thanked and also to give them some applause even though it's virtual Let's see how it goes. So before I jump into the actual closing I just wanted to highlight the sprints that are scheduled for tomorrow for Saturday and Sunday The sprints will happen in matrix and there are sprint rooms already installed in matrix. You can go there and then You know discuss you can do text chat. You can do video chat in there using the just you did see widgets But there's something that's very important Of course, we need to have a number of sprints scheduled for this right and right now We do have a couple but as you will see on the following slide There are so many people who want to join the sprints that we can easily have more Sprint projects on the schedule. So I would ask you to please go to this URL You can find that URL if you go to our website on the sprints page Or you can just go directly to the Python wiki and then navigate to to the URL your Python 2021 slash sprints and then you can add your sprint there So we still have quite a few rooms left. I think we have a total of 15 rooms For the for the sprints. So please do Right that said now, let's go into The actual slides so your person 21 21 statistics. So your person was really really big this year So we had more than 2100 tickets sold or registered and we're still counting people are still registering for tickets we had a total of 1600 or more than 1600 attendees from more than 80 countries around the world and this is based on unique email addresses But it's a bit difficult for us to count the actual attendees at the conference because we only You know get numbers from let's say how many people registered in matrix or how many people are You know buying buying tickets sometimes people buy more than one ticket So that's that's basically the the count that we have for this year 1600 is a record for your person We've never had more attendees. So that's a really nice result We sold 300 or more than 360 combined tickets combined tickets are the ones that include training 370 conference tickets 470 sprint only tickets and now you have to Consider that the combined tickets and the conference tickets that can also participate in the sprints So there are more than a thousand people waiting for the sprint team. So that's going to be very exciting tomorrow To see how that goes Plus we also added this view only ticket for this year actually for the first time and That was hugely popular. So we had 970 view only tickets registered And that's probably something that we're going to do again because it's it's really it's it's a huge success It's you engage people a lot more than by just putting streams on YouTube View only tickets is free. So that was a nice thing For us to do we had 18 sponsors, which is eight sponsors up from last year Which is also amazing and I have a feeling that the sponsors felt quite at home at the conference There was more engagement and you know more people coming to them So overall, I think this was and we can we can probably say this was one of the largest Europe-Island events that we ever had a Big thanks goes out to our sponsors Especially the Keystone sponsor Optiver and also Microsoft and Bloomberg as diamond sponsors But I also like to thank Treyport JetBrains number Lee off zero Google Cloud Vonage Terminus DB stack builders Scout APM. That's a bit small River Riverbank computing They have been sponsoring us for four ages. I don't remember when they started sponsoring us They have been with us for I think since the beginning Edimion remaster Manning no such press and packed So big applause goes out to them. Let's just do this like this maybe And then also, of course, thank you to all our speakers and attendees So we had more than 130 sessions for this Europyson by more than 140 speakers So that was absolutely amazing and I think all the speakers did an excellent job And so they deserve an applause as well. So let's give them another applause and Then I'd like to thank the attendees as well The attendees not only for attending but also for being nice citizens because we have zero contact reports, which is really nice And of course, we'd like to keep it that way. So we're going to ask you to follow the code of 100 next year as well So who's going to make who's making all of this happen? the small team small team of volunteers and this is the team and I want to I've prepared a small video so that we We do get some applause. So let me just play that Okay, this is the list of all the people that we had in the in the team The people in red here are the board members of the Europe as a society and all the blue members are the work group members and volunteers and session chairs and Basically everyone who helped at the conference So a big thanks to everyone a big thanks to all the volunteers who've helped who'd made this this work It was all done on free time. It was all volunteer work. No one got paid for this This is It's very important for us to to you know, have everyone basically in the same kind of situation And to make it, you know viable for for everyone to join the the organization and to help out So for next year, of course, we are asking again for volunteers to help in the work groups If you want to know how much work it is, it's probably going to be around hundred hours of work mostly starting in March There's more work available, of course, if you like you can work as much as As you have free time for this if you want to Sign up as a volunteer for next year, then please write to board at your python.eu We will probably again have introduction sessions or short conference calls early next year Maybe in February to then explain how everything works And then we usually then also on board you To the to the teams The legal backup behind Europe as in Europe as in society as some of you may know Europe as a society runs Europe as in the conference and does all the contracts takes the financial risk and so on But it also supports the European Python community, so and that may be a little known fact We do give out grants to other groups organizing conferences in Europe and also to to projects if you run a project and you need financial support then please contact us and we can We can help you if it fits our our mission So it has to be in Europe. It has to be related to to Python, of course Everything is volunteer driven in your Python society as well. No one gets paid. So this is Completely done on free time This is the Europe Python Society board So we have Anders, Chuck Francesco, myself, Martin, Nicholas, Raichel and Sylvia I'm solicited there as a chair This will be my last year as a chair of the conference. So starting next year I'm going to participate as an attendee and perhaps a speaker again. So I'm actually very much looking forward to that after doing this five years So we're gonna have a new person do the chairing next year There's a general assembly later this year This is where the members of the Europe Python Society meet and then they vote on Among other things the new board So if you want to be part of the EPS become a member then please go to the members Link that we have on the website and you can sign up. It doesn't cost you anything And then you can have your say as well Right. So we loved having you Have a good trip home. That's what we normally say at the in-person conference I think it's better to stay to say stay safe and stay healthy and don't get caught it and I very much hope that we can meet in person again in Dublin next year the conference next year is going to be July 11th until 17th and Yeah, I will you know, I would really like to see everyone again in person and so that we can actually You know shake hands so we can go out for a beer. We can have dinner together. We can enjoy the conference talks directly and That would be a great thing. So hopefully it'll happen like that We'd like to ask you to to spread the word about your Python about the conference what you thought was good about the conference and Bring all your friends to the conference next year. I am going to send around a feedback form tomorrow So that you can give us your feedback and of course, then we will take your feedback into account for organizing next year's conference right and This was all now. It's party time. So I think we're going to stay in this room. Unless Unless Nicholas gives me different instructions and we're going to start in two minutes. It seems So, that's it. Thank you very much
