Bullet IconCoC Response Team

The CoC committee was active throughout all four days of the conference, including workshops and the dev sprint.

03. Incidents

Reports received: 0

No Code of Conduct violations or incident reports were received during PyCon India 2025 — including the workshop day, both conference days, and the dev sprint.

Bullet IconContext

We consider zero incidents a positive reflection of the community's commitment to respectful conduct, not a sign of under-reporting. The CoC team was visible and approachable throughout the event. Attendees were informed of reporting channels in the opening session, the programme guide, and via signage at the venue.

If you experienced or witnessed something at PyCon India 2025 that you did not report at the time, you are still encouraged to reach out to coc@in.pycon.org. All reports are handled with care and confidentiality.

04. Accessibility & Child Care

Bullet IconAccessibility

PyCon India 2025 continued the accessibility initiatives introduced in 2024. All recorded talks were captioned to assist participants in following content in their preferred format. Sessions included visual aids and adapted illustrations to make technical concepts more accessible and engaging.

Quiet rooms were available for attendees who needed a break from the busy conference environment.

Bullet IconChild Care

Building on the 2024 pilot, on-site child care services were again offered at no charge to attendees. The service was staffed by trained professionals from a certified agency and included age-appropriate activities and dedicated rest areas.

Feedback from 2024 was incorporated to improve scheduling clarity and the sign-up process. We continue to invite suggestions from the community to strengthen this offering in future editions.
