PyCon US 2026 Adds AI and Security Tracks
PyCon US 2026 in Long Beach adds dedicated AI and security tracks; talks run May 15–17.
PyCon US 2026 in Long Beach has added new AI and security tracks to this year's program, according to a post by Simon Willison on X. Talks run Friday May 15 through Sunday May 17, with tutorials on May 14 and sprints on May 18–19.
For the Python developer community, the new tracks reflect how deeply AI tooling and application security have moved into mainstream software practice. PyCon draws thousands of practitioners annually, and dedicated tracks give developers a structured venue to exchange production experience — from library design and LLM integration to securing the systems they build. Willison noted that California-based attendees tend to register close to the event, suggesting there is still time to join.
