+
+# Thank You 🤗
+
+EuroPython has been organised by volunteers since 2002, driven by the passion
+and dedication of the community.
+
+What does it take to organise a conference? Let's go through it chronologically
+and tell you a bit more about the efforts and people behind it.
+

+
+## EuroPython Society Board 🏛️
+
+Before the conference preparations even start, a board is elected annually. The
+board manages the day-to-day operations of the EPS, the non-profit behind the
+series. They're responsible for fiscal and legal work, as well as making the
+conference happen. That includes picking a location, finding a suitable venue,
+local lawyers and accountants.
+
+Finally, the board finds leads and builds teams of volunteers to work in
+different areas.
+
+The board members for the 2026 conference are:
+
+- Anders Hammarquist
+- Angel Ramboi
+- Aris Nivorlis
+- Artur Czepiel
+- Ege Akman
+- Mia Bajić
+- Yuliia Barabash
+
+## Team Anežka 💪
+
+- Anežka Müller
+
+Following our successful collaboration last year, Anežka continued to provide
+support this year too as our event manager.
+
+She handled communication with all suppliers, relieving volunteers and board
+members of logistical tasks. She coordinated with the venue, catering, speakers'
+dinner, social events, sprints venue, booth builders, t-shirts, stickers, and
+numerous other smaller suppliers.
+
+We are deeply grateful to Anežka for her invaluable work and all the support she
+provided throughout the year.
+
+## Programme 📅
+
+This team manages the Call for Proposals, Community Voting, Proposals Screening,
+Panels, final selection of the Talks, Tutorials, Posters, Scheduling, Keynotes,
+Open Spaces, and all the last minute cancellations 😅.
+
+- Cristián Maureira-Fredes
+- Diego Russo
+- Maria José Molina Contreras
+- Marina Moro Lopez
+- Naa Nortey
+- Rodrigo Girão Serrão
+
+## Speaker Mentorship 🎓
+
+In parallel with the Call for Proposals, we kick off the Speaker Mentorship
+Programme. It's designed to help new and less experienced speakers submit
+proposals and, if accepted, build their confidence and prepare their talks.
+
+- Naa Nortey
+
+## Communications 📧
+
+The Communications team works year-round, however they are at their busiest
+during the conference week itself. Daily updates, monthly newsletters, Wi-Fi
+passwords, venue maps, and website copy are all things produced by this
+incredible team. There are quite a few more forms of communication that we
+didn't yet mention. Unsurprisingly, they all come under the Communications
+remit, too!
+
+- Daria Linhart Grudzien
+- Andrew Northall
+- Celina Czyszczon
+- Mia Bajić
+- Sangarshanan Veera
+
+## Design 🎨
+
+The Design team is responsible for producing high quality artwork and visual
+content, especially the EuroPython social media posts that accompany the
+communications copy written by the Communications team. They work closely with
+Communications to ensure all visual deliverables are on-brand and polished.
+
+- Mia Bajić
+- Daksh P. Jain
+
+## Infrastructure 💻
+
+Thanks to our local superstar for his all-round help.
+
+- Marcin Wierzbanowski
+
+## EuroPython Advocacy 🗣️
+
+- Maciej Majewski
+
+This role is crucial for spreading the word about EuroPython and building
+excitement in the local community. With EuroPython 2026 taking place in Krakow,
+we were fortunate to have Maciej Majewski as our advocate. As the organiser of
+PyData Krakow, Maciej helped us build local support.
+
+## Sponsorship 🤝
+
+The conference runs from ticket sales and sponsorships. The Sponsors Team
+contacts sponsors early, manages contracts, invoices, logistics and ensures all
+deliverables are fulfilled by other teams.
+
+- Kshitijaa Jaglan
+- Angel Ramboi
+- Artur Czepiel
+- Iryna Kondrashchenko
+- Oleh Kostromin
+- Raquel Dou
+
+## Financial Aid 💰

+communications, and ensures invoices are submitted:
+
+- Theofanis Petkos
+- Aris Nivorlis
+- Doreen Peace Nangira Wanyama
+- Panagiotis Skias
+- Raquel Dou
+

+
+### Discord Team
+
+Everyone with a valid conference ticket received access to our Discord server,
+where participants could chat with fellow attendees, speakers, and organisers.
+The Discord team managed the server, ensuring that participants had access and
+the appropriate permissions.
+
+A huge thank you to Niklas Mertsch for leading the Discord team and to Szymon
+Cader for his significant contributions!
+
+The work involved in maintaining and updating the Discord bot can be found in
+the EuroPython Discord bot repository: https://github.com/EuroPython/discord
+
+### A/V Team
+
+Although an external supplier handled the streaming and recording, this team
+coordinated with the venue, managed the digital screens, and dealt with
+unexpected technical issues.
+
+A big thank you to Raquel Dou, Piotr Gnus, Panagiotis Kyrillos, Aeneas
+Christodoulou, and Anežka Müller for coordinating all things A/V!
+
+### Registration Desk
+
+The registration desk is one of the first points of contact for everyone
+arriving at EuroPython. Thanks to the careful preparation and coordination of
+Martin Borus and Gaweng Tan, registration was a smooth experience for both
+attendees and the onsite volunteers working at the desk.
+
+A huge thank you to Martin and Gaweng for making everyone’s arrival so welcoming
+and well organised!
+
+### Helpdesk
+
+Throughout the conference, the helpdesk answered questions and assisted
+participants whenever they needed support.
+
+A special thank you to George Zisopoulos, who led the helpdesk and worked
+relentlessly to answer questions, resolve issues, and help everyone who reached
+out.
+
+As soon as you enter the conference, some of the first people you see are those
+wearing yellow T-shirts—our Pockets of Sunshine ☀️. These are our onsite
+volunteers, who assist attendees, chair sessions, distribute materials, and help
+keep the conference running smoothly.
+
+A huge thank you to Janusz Kamieński for coordinating the entire onsite
+volunteer team and ensuring that everyone had the information and support they
+needed throughout the conference.
+
+### Onsite Volunteers Team
+
+Once you enter the conference, the first thing you see are people in yellow
+t-shirts (🦸 Pockets of Sunshine ☀️). They're our volunteers, who assist
+attendees, chair sessions, and hand out materials.
