The crowd of DjangoCon US 2023 attendees

DjangoCon US 2023 was hosted in Durham, North Carolina for the first time and hosted 443 attendees from all over the world!

Fond memory from 2023?
Share it with us:

From tutorials on Airflow and Postgres to talks about contributing to Django and diversity, equity and inclusion to hallway tracks and sprint contributions, 2023 was another fantastic year for DjangoCon US!

Every year, DjangoCon US works hard to make our program better and more accessible, and this year we're super proud of the features we had:

Deep Dive Day, a single-track conference day dedicated to talks that go into more detail on Django topics
Accessibility wins: Once again we provided subsidized child care, a dedicated lactation room and live captioning for all talks
Travel stipends for all speakers
Technology reimbursement for online presenters

Thanks to our generous sponsors, who helped make these conference dreams a reality.
