The planned conference venue, Trinity College Dublin, can no longer host the event. Consequently, the previously confirmed date of October 17, 2026, is no longer valid. The Call for Proposals deadline has been extended to August 30, 2026, allowing submissions to proceed independently of the venue search. Organizers are actively seeking a new venue in the Dublin area. Existing talk proposals are secure and will be communicated the new details once confirmed. PyCon Ireland 2026 is still happening and is being treated as a reschedule, not a cancellation. The commitment to the community and showcasing speakers remains a priority. The team is working on securing a new venue and will share updates as they become available. First-time and experienced speakers are still encouraged to submit proposals for various talk formats. Attendees are advised to follow conference social media channels for the quickest updates on the new date and venue.
