# 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.
