EuroPython is organized by the EuroPython Workgroups (WGs), reporting directly to the EuroPython Society Board. This page will list all the workgroups and their members to highlight their involvement with the EuroPython 2016 conference.

One of the workgroups, the on-site team workgroup, is especially important, since they provide the services and management on-site in Bilbao, as well as in the case of EuroPython 2016, also take on a major role in the financial and legal infrastructure of the conference organization.
