About
PyCon US is the flagship annual gathering of the Python community in the United States, produced by the Python Software Foundation. It brings together developers, data scientists, educators, students, maintainers and newcomers who share an interest in the Python language and the open source ecosystem around it, with a programme built around talks, tutorials and community activities. The 2027 edition is listed for Long Beach, California, from 12 to 18 May 2027, following the move to the Long Beach Convention Center as the event's new host city. PyCon US traditionally unfolds in stages: tutorial days and sponsor presentations come first, followed by the main conference days with talks, an expo hall and open spaces, a job fair and community showcase, and finally several days of development sprints. Attendees can learn new libraries in tutorials, follow talks across web, data, science and packaging, and then contribute directly to open source projects during the sprints. This Python conference in Long Beach matters because it is where much of the language's community, governance and volunteer energy comes together in person each year.

Planning your trip to Long Beach
Contains sponsored linksPyCon US 2027 returns to Long Beach in mid-May, when the Southern California coast is mild and fresh rather than hot. Locals call the pattern May Gray: overcast mornings that often clear to sunny afternoons, so a light jacket is useful early in the day. The conference takes over the waterfront convention district downtown, within walking distance of the harbour, Shoreline Village and plenty of hotels, which makes the long tutorial, talk and sprint days easy to navigate on foot.
Getting there & around
Long Beach Airport (LGB) is small and close to downtown, around 15 to 20 minutes by car, with flights from a number of US cities. Los Angeles International (LAX) has far more routes; the drive takes roughly 30 to 60 minutes depending on freeway traffic. Orange County's John Wayne Airport (SNA) is another option. From downtown Long Beach, Metro's A Line light rail runs north to downtown Los Angeles in about an hour.
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 strong around downtown Long Beach, though signal can slow in a packed convention hall. An eSIM gives international attendees a separate data line for the sprint days. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
After the sessions
Aquarium of the Pacific. On Rainbow Harbor, a short walk from the convention district, the aquarium focuses on Pacific marine life from Baja to the North Pacific, with shark lagoons and a lorikeet aviary. Weekday afternoons are quieter than weekends; allow two to three hours for the full visit. Tickets on Tiqets →
The Queen Mary. The retired 1930s ocean liner is permanently docked across the harbour and now operates as a hotel with public tours. Walking the decks gives a vivid sense of transatlantic travel in its heyday. Check tour times online, and plan about two hours including the short ride over.
Shoreline Village and the waterfront path. The waterfront path loops around Rainbow Harbor past Shoreline Village's shops and seafood spots, and it is the easiest decompression walk between sessions. Go at sunset, when light over the harbour and the Queen Mary is at its best. Thirty minutes to an hour is enough.
Naples canals and Belmont Shore. East of downtown, the Naples neighbourhood is built around narrow canals lined with waterfront homes, best seen on foot or from a rented kayak or gondola. Neighbouring Second Street in Belmont Shore is a relaxed strip for dinner. Plan an evening, reached by bus or a short rideshare.
