Following on from this [topic](https://discuss.python.org/t/alternate-the-language-summit-between-pycon-us-and-europython/102156) and this [poll](https://discuss.python.org/t/poll-alternating-the-language-summit-between-pycon-us-and-europython/104527), I’m happy to announce that the Steering Council has approved having the next Language Summit at [EuroPython 2026](https://ep2026.europython.eu/)! The [EuroPython Society](https://www.europython-society.org/) plan to announce the location and date in the new year, stay tuned. ---

Since this part isn’t entirely obvious, based on the questions I’ve seen: this means there will be **no Language Summit at PyCon US 2026** , nor anything else Core Team related on the Wednesday before the conference (the traditional time slot). The Language Summit will (for now) alternate between PyCon US and EuroPython, so there will be a Language Summit at PyCon US 2027. ---

I’m not in any way involved in the organisation. But in case you haven’t seen it, it looks like 13-19 July, Kraków, Poland (based on [https://ep2026.europython.eu/](https://ep2026.europython.eu/)) ---

Thank you for updating the thread!

So far, feedback from the core team has been in favor of Tuesday, July 14th, 2026. The current plan is to follow a standard full-day schedule: 09:00 start, coffee break, lunch, coffee break, and 17:00 end.
