◈ Departure date ◈ November 25–26, 2026 Centre International de Conférences de Sorbonne Université · Paris

A new annual conference for those working with open source computation and data.
For people who want to understand, not just use.

Blackbox answers are easier to get than ever. But producing, understanding, trusting them? That's the hard part. And the interesting one.

The organizing team has contributed to Jupyter, Scikit-learn, Apache Arrow, Mamba, and many of the tools that power modern data science. Compute! is our conference.

Mission briefing

For everyone working with data

Where biologists, city planners, physicists, mathematicians, social scientists, policy analysts, and software engineers find themselves solving the same problem from different angles.

🔭

Understand your tools

Go beyond the API. Learn how the algorithms, data structures, and pipelines you rely on actually work — and what that means for your results.

🤝

Meet the builders

Spend two days alongside the people who maintain the open source stack. Ask them anything. Build things together.

🌍

Cross the domains

The same data problems appear in biology, policy, physics, and engineering. The best insights come from talking across those boundaries.

🚀

Take something back

Leave with new techniques, new contacts, and a clearer picture of where the field is heading — and where you fit in it.

Crew manifest

One third academia. One third industry. One third institutions.

Students and open source maintainers alongside established professionals and the decision-makers who shape how organizations use data. We mix the domains on purpose.

🎓

Academia

Researchers, educators, PhD students, and scientific computing practitioners pushing the frontier of reproducible science.

Digital Industry

Engineers, data scientists, open source maintainers, and the leaders who decide how their organizations invest in data infrastructure.

🏛

Public Institutions

Civil servants, policy analysts, and public sector teams using data to make decisions that affect everyone.
