EuroPython wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for all the volunteers who put in countless hours to organize it. Whether it’s contracting the venue, selecting and confirming talks & workshops or coordinating with speakers, hundreds of hours of loving work have been put into making each edition the best one yet. Read our latest interview with Marina Moro López, a member of the EuroPython 2025 Programme Team and a former EuroPython speaker. Thank you for contributing to the conference programme, Marina! --- EP: What first inspired you to volunteer for EuroPython? And which edition of the conference was it? I volunteered at EuroPython 2025 because I was a speaker at the 2024 edition and fell in love with the event, so I wanted to do my bit to help keep it amazing. EP: What was your primary role as a volunteer, and what did a typical day look like for you? I was involved in reviewing talks and putting together the schedule, as well as contacting keynote speakers and organizing the open spaces. A typical day was filled with Excel spreadsheets and emails :) EP: Could you share your favorite memory from contributing to EuroPython? Honestly, the day the program team got together at the event. We shared an intimate moment exclusively for ourselves after all the hard work we had done, seeing how it was paying off. EP: Is there anything that surprised you about the volunteer experience? It may seem that organizing such a large event can be chaotic at times with so many people involved, so I was surprised to see that this wasn’t the case at all and that, in the end, we were all one big team. EP: How has contributing to EuroPython impacted your own career or learning journey? Without a doubt, an event like EuroPython gives you top communication and organizational skills. Also, in my particular case, and maybe this is a little silly, I am super proud to say that I did my first PR ever! EP: What's one misconception about conference volunteering you'd like to clear up? Even if you don't have a tech background (like me), if you want to help, that's reason enough to participate. You don’t need anything else. EP: If you were to invite someone else, what do you think are the top 3 reasons to join the EuroPython organizing team? Seeing how an event like this is created from the inside is incredible, plus the team is lovely, and you'll learn a lot because you’ll be surrounded by top people from the community. EP: Thank you for your work, Marina! #europython #conference #volunteers #python #contributors #europython2025 #opensource
