## Content
The agenda was distributed the same way as in previous years: two days of talks (Friday and Saturday) and one day of workshops (Sunday). This gave us enough space to focus the session tracks on specific topics. One track was focused solely on data, as it is a popular area in Python programming. The second track contained general topics or talks suitable for programmers on any level. The third track offered talks for beginners – and we had so much content for them that the sessions ran in two rooms!
Workshops ran in 9 rooms so they offered 240 seats in the morning and 200 in the afternoon, but we still couldn't satisfy everyone interested in joining them. Next time, we will need many more! And it's great to see so many people eager to learn new things.

And what did people come to the event for? Most obviously said that they were interested in professional and personal development, collaboration and free and open-source software. However, half attendees were also interested in ML/AI and data-related topics. About a third wanted to learn more about testing and debugging, web development, security, and system administration / DevOps / SRE.
Since we strove to keep the ticket registration form as short as possible, we only know about gender diversity from two sources:

- calculated from ticket registration names (25% were female names) and
- feedback respondents (19% of attendees and 28% of speakers were female, and 1% of attendees and 1% of speakers were non-binary)

Regarding age, we only collected this data in the feedback form, which had a low response rate of 22%, so the following information might not represent all attendees of the conference. According to the feedback form, 35% of attendees were under 29 and 51% were in the 30–39 group.
## Financial Aid
PyCon CZ 23 offered to support people who would not otherwise be able to come to the event. This year, the financial aid was allocated as follows:

- Attendees: 12k CZK
- Speakers: 41k CZK

## Languages
The official language of the event is English (17% of attendees and 38% of speakers arrived from abroad), but as we offered a significant part of the programme to beginners who were mostly Czech-speaking, we allowed speakers to present in Czech if they did not feel like speaking English. Sessions in Czech were:

- 13 talks (out of 51),
- both panels and

The questionnaire also asked the respondents to rate individual sessions. This was done on a lexical scale (Excellent, Good, Not great, not terrible, and Not good). We recalculated the ratings into a numeric scale of 4 to 1, 4 being Excellent, i.e., the higher the number, the better the rating. Only sessions with enough ratings were considered.
