What is PythonAsia?
The Flagship Gathering for Python Enthusiasts Across Asia - Uniting Diverse Communities across the region
Previously known as PyCon APAC, the conference has a long history of bringing together developers,
students, educators, researchers, and industry leaders to collaborate, exchange ideas, and build lasting
connections. Its goal remains to create a space for exploring, discussing, and applying Python and its
surrounding technologies across the Asia-Pacific region. Past hosts include Singapore, Japan, Taiwan,
South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The event is hosted annually in
different countries.
Starting 2026, the event takes on its new identity as PythonAsia, co-organized with the Python Asia
Organization (PAO). PythonAsia 2026 will be proudly hosted in the Philippines once again, building on
the success of PyCon APAC 2025 and with the continued support of the local Python community through
PythonPH in collaboration with PAO.
Like PyCon APAC, PythonAsia expands the local Python community’s reach to an international audience,
creating opportunities for deeper collaboration and knowledge sharing across diverse cultures and
industries throughout the Asia region.

Why Python?
We believe Python changes lives.
It gives everyday people the tools to create, solve problems, and share ideas with the world—while also powering industries from AI and data science to cloud computing and automation.
From students building their first websites, to small teams streamlining workflows, to researchers and companies tackling big challenges—Python is there.
Simple enough to start with, powerful enough to shape the future. And at PythonPH, we see it every day in our community: people learning, teaching, and creating together. That's the heart of why we do what we do.
