PyCon Lithuania is one of the most international PyCon in Europe. There are diverse topics of talk and everything is in English. Speakers are also from all around the world. If you have never been to Lithuania you may want to use PyCon as an excuse to visit this beautiful country.

It was a pleasure to be invited to PyCon Lithuania. The conference was interesting and hosts very friendly, but what really stood out to me was how attentive the organisers were to ensuring speakers had a good experience.

I was very satisfied with the extraordinarily good organization of the conference over all three days, the amount and quality of social events, and, of course, Vilnius and Lithuania itself.
