Submit a proposal for DjangoCon Africa 2025
Why speak at DjangoCon Africa
Simply put, it’s an excellent opportunity to put your ideas out there, share knowledge with fellow Djangonauts, and give back to our community. You get to reach both a passitonate local audience, and the global Django community once your talk is published online.
If you’re interested in our Opportunity Grants, being an approved speaker or tutorial presenter also puts you first in line to receive that.
What to cover
We’re looking for proposals from first-time speakers as well as veterans. We want talks (20 – 45 min), workshops and tutorials, (60 – 90 min), and also lightning talks (5 min). As far as topics, here are suggested ones:
- Django internals and challenges in modern web development.
- Wild ideas, clever hacks, surprising or cool use cases.
- Improving Django and Python developers’ lives.
- Pushing Django to its limits.
- The Django and Python community, culture, history, past, present & future, the why, the who and the what of it all.
- Security
- Emerging technologies and industries – AI, Blockchain, Open Source etc.
- Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
- Whatever you deem appropriate – it’s your conference after all
Ubuntu
In addition to Django, this year’s edition will feature a new Pan-African open source event running alongside DjangoCon Africa – UbuCon at DjangoCon Africa!
We invite proposals on any of these topics, and more: Desktop, Cloud and Infrastructure, Linux Containers and Container Orchestration, DevOps, Virtualisation, Automation, Networking Windows Subsystem for Linux(WSL), IoT, Embedded, Robotics, Appliances, Packaging, Documentation, QA and Bug triage, Security, Compliance and Kernel, Data and AI, Video, Audio and Image editing, Open source tools, Community, Diversity, Local Outreach and Social Context.
