"EP: What first inspired you to volunteer for EuroPython? And which edition of the conference was it? I volunteered at EuroPython 2025 because I was a speaker at the 2024 edition and fell in love with the event, so I wanted to do my bit to help keep it amazing. EP: What was your primary role as a volunteer, and what did a typical day look like for you? I was involved in reviewing talks and putting together the schedule,"
"as well as contacting keynote speakers and organizing the open spaces. A typical day was filled with Excel spreadsheets and emails :) EP: Could you share your favorite memory from contributing to EuroPython? Honestly, the day the program team got together at the event. We shared an intimate moment exclusively for ourselves after all the hard work we had done, seeing how it was paying off."
"EP: Is there anything that surprised you about the volunteer experience? It may seem that organizing such a large event can be chaotic at times with so many people involved, so I was surprised to see that this wasn't the case at all and that, in the end, we were all one big team. EP: How has contributing to EuroPython impacted your own career or learning journey? Without a doubt, an event like EuroPython gives you top communication and organizational skills."
