+# EuroPython 2025 Open Spaces
+
+At EuroPython 2025, Open Spaces offer a unique opportunity for attendees to
+shape their own experience. Instead of fixed schedules and talks, these sessions
+are run by participants like you who bring fresh ideas and create discussions in
+an open and friendly environment.
+
+During the main days of the conference, two rooms will be dedicated to Open
+Spaces, with enough space for everyone to delve into the topics that interest
+them most.
+
+## What is an Open Space?
+
+Open Spaces are participant-driven gatherings where anyone can propose a topic,
+lead a discussion or presentation, and collaborate with others. Attendees can
+add their session idea to the Open Spaces registration calendar, which also
+serves to attract potential participants interested in joining.
