The keynote speakers at PyCon JP 2026 will be Carol Willing and Takashi Kitao.
Carol, who has long been a driving force in the Python and open science communities,
and Takashi Kitao, who has fostered creativity and a sense of play through ‘Pyxel’, a game engine for Python.
We look forward to reflecting on Python’s past and future from a variety of perspectives, including open source, education, creativity and community! Stay tuned!
