About
PyCon PL 2027 is the 19th edition of the Polish Python programmers conference, part of the worldwide family of community-run PyCon events. It focuses on the Python language and its ecosystem, from core language features and libraries to open source projects, and brings together developers, data practitioners, educators and enthusiasts who use Python in their daily work. The 2027 edition takes place from 26 to 29 August 2027 in Gliwice, Poland, at the CEK venue, as an in-person gathering. The official site is available in both English and Polish, reflecting an audience that includes local developers as well as international participants. Its long history, now approaching two decades, makes it one of the longer-running Python community events in Central Europe. Attendees can expect talks on Python development and related open source tools, along with informal exchange among people who share an interest in the language. The multi-day format leaves time for conversations beyond the scheduled programme and for meeting contributors to community projects. As a Python conference in Poland 2027, PyCon PL helps sustain a strong regional Python community, giving developers a place to share knowledge, find collaborators and follow where the ecosystem is heading.

Planning your trip to Gliwice
Contains sponsored linksPyCon PL 2027 meets in Gliwice at the end of August, when Upper Silesia is still enjoying warm summer days, long evenings and outdoor tables around the market square. Gliwice is a compact university city, anchored by the Silesian University of Technology, and a strong engineering tradition makes it a natural host for a Python conference. The wider region is an industrial heartland reinvented, with former mines and factories turned into museums and cultural venues, all within easy reach.
Getting there & around
Katowice Airport (KTW) in Pyrzowice is the closest major airport, roughly 40 to 50 minutes from Gliwice by car or shuttle. Kraków Airport (KRK) has more international routes and is around 90 minutes away by road. Frequent regional trains link Gliwice with Katowice in roughly half an hour, and Katowice has direct rail connections to Warsaw, Kraków and Wrocław. The A4 motorway passes just south of Gliwice.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Kiwitaxi. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on EconomyBookings.
Staying connected
Mobile coverage is good across Gliwice and the Silesian metropolitan area, and EU visitors roam at domestic rates. Non-EU attendees can use an eSIM to stay connected from the moment they land. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
After the sessions
Gliwice Radio Tower. The wooden transmitter tower, around 111 metres tall and built from larch, is often described as one of the tallest wooden structures in the world. It is also the site of the staged Gliwice incident of 1939. A small museum explains the history; allow about an hour.
Gliwice Old Town and Market Square. The rebuilt Rynek, with its town hall and Neptune fountain, is the natural place for evening drinks after the conference. The surrounding lanes still follow the medieval layout, and fragments of the old city walls remain. A relaxed hour covers the centre.
Guido Historic Coal Mine. In neighbouring Zabrze, about 15 minutes away, visitors descend hundreds of metres underground into a former coal mine, with galleries dedicated to mining history and even an underground pub. Tours run in groups, so book ahead and bring a warm layer. Allow two to three hours.
Silesian Museum and Nikiszowiec. In Katowice, the Silesian Museum occupies the site of a former coal mine, with galleries largely underground. Nearby Nikiszowiec is a red-brick workers' housing estate with a distinct character and cafés. Combine them for a half-day trip by train and tram.
