A panel of experienced Python conference speakers — Sebastian, Chuk, and Rodrigo — share practical advice for first-time and returning EuroPython speakers. Topics covered include writing strong CFP proposals (be genuine, avoid LLM-generated text, polish formatting), structuring talks as stories with clear beginnings and ends, scripting approaches (full, partial, or none), managing slide design (large fonts, minimal text, light mode, incremental code reveals), handling nerves and imposter syndrome, engaging audiences through eye contact and interaction, navigating Q&A (including how to skip it or dodge difficult questions), and leveraging conference talks for career growth through networking and social media visibility.
