Last year, 5 foreign and 15 Russian speakers spoke. Videos and presentations of last year’s reports are available
here , photos are posted there. And
here is the Habrovsky report on PyCon-2014.
This year's program is being formed. She is preparing a program committee, which included python-developers from different cities, different companies and with different experiences, so we are sure that the reports will be useful and interesting. Prepare the program:
Andrey Svetlov (Python Core Developer, engineer at DataRobot, organizer of Pycamp / Pycon Ukraine),
Andrey Vlasovskih (developer of IDE PyCharm at JetBrains),
Roman Imankulov (developer of Doist Inc.),
Dmitry Ovchinnikov (Senior Software Engineer at Wargaming.net) ,

The format of the conference remained the same: Pitonists leave for two days outside the city (30 km. From Ekaterinburg), during the day they listen to reports, participate in master classes, and in the evening have fun and relax in nature.
An important part of the conference is after-party, and this year we will do prepati: the participants, who arrived on the evening of September 17, will get to know and chat in an informal setting before the conference. At the very afterparty on September 18 there will be an evening bonfire with songs and chat, board games and entertainment from sponsors. In addition, we plan to make a barbecue on the street with pilaf, sausages and beer. We promise, this time there will not be so many mosquitoes :)
