Jupyter @ Compute! Paris 2026
Jupyter Takes Center Stage at Compute! Paris, Nov 25-26, 2026
This is a guest blog post from QuantStack, a founding member of the Jupyter Foundation.
Project Jupyter will have a prominent role at Compute! Paris 2026, a new annual conference for open source computation and data, taking place November 25–26, 2026 at the Sorbonne Université in Paris.
Opening Keynote by Fernando Pérez
Fernando Pérez, co-creator of Jupyter and IPython, will deliver the opening keynote on Wednesday, November 25. His talk, Jupyter, open source and AI: science and humans?, will explore how tools like Jupyter help people think, not just execute, in an era of rapidly evolving AI.
Planet Jupyter Track
Compute! Paris will feature a dedicated Planet Jupyter track on Thursday, November 26, highlighting the latest developments and community efforts in the Jupyter ecosystem. Confirmed talks include:
- Reshaping the Jupyter Computing Environment by Jeremy Tuloup (JupyterLab maintainer and JupyterLite creator)
- Coordinating security across 350+ Jupyter repositories by Yann Pellegrini
- nbplay: making music in notebooks by Tim Paine
- The Notebook Is the Backend: Serverless Grading for Jupyter(Lite) by Afshin Darian (JupyterLab co-creator)
Additionally, two Jupyter-related talks will be featured in other tracks:
- Using geojupyter community tools for earth data analysis and visualization at scale in the context of Snow Detection, by Guillaume Eynard-Bontemps, Vincent Sarago, and Martin Renou (Jupyter maintainer)
- A practical experience report on community management from JupyterHub and Jupyter Book, Serena Bonaretti (JupyterHub and Jupyter Book Community Manager)
Finally, a special Jupyter-focused sprint will be held on the day following the event, graciously hosted by the Sorbonne Cluster for Artificial Intelligence (SCAI).
Full Conference Highlights
Compute! Paris brings together leaders in open source data science, including keynotes from Mackenzie Weygandt Mathis (EPFL), Ines Montani (Explosion.ai), and Wolf Vollprecht (prefix.dev). With 42 talks across three parallel tracks, the event promises deep dives into open source tools, reproducibility, and the future of computation.
