A week of learning. A community in motion.

Plone Conference and PyCon Finland brought people together in Jyväskylä from 13 to 19 October 2025.

More than a programme of talks

The week connected practical training, technical talks and collaborative work. Plone developers, integrators and users met alongside the Python community, with PyCon Finland joining the programme on Friday 17 October.

The organisers’ recap records participants from 30 countries and more than 70 talks. Sessions covered the platform, accessibility, theming, artificial intelligence and wider software-development topics. The official archive provides the session details and links to recordings.

For a reader returning to the event now, there are several routes into that material: follow a topic from the talks, revisit a training subject, or use the sprint experience as a starting point for contributing.

Choose a way into the programme

Learning, exchanging experience and contributing ask for different kinds of time and attention. The conference brought all three into one week.

Training: make time to practise

The training days took place on 13 and 14 October in the Lähde building. The archived programme is the place to revisit the classes and their subjects.

Talks: follow an idea further

The conference schedule connects session titles, speakers and topics. Use it to find the talks most relevant to your work rather than treating the programme as one long list.

Sprints: work alongside others

The sprint invited developers, documenters, trainers, designers and newcomers to join a topic or bring one of their own. Planning, testing and documentation were part of the work.

Two venues, two kinds of work

Agora hosted the conference talks and PyCon Finland at the Mattilanniemi campus by the lake. The venue included three seminar halls, with Martti Ahtisaari Hall as the main room.

Training and sprints used Lähde, the library building on the main campus. Keeping those locations distinct matters when reading the archived schedule or following a session’s supporting material.

The official venue page links to more information about both buildings and the campus map. Its photographs show the spaces used during the week.

Take the conversation forward

The value of a conference continues in the questions people pursue afterwards. Choose a recording to share with your team, follow up on a useful discussion or turn one observation into a small contribution.
