DjangoCon US 2022 was in San Diego for the third year and hosted 500 attendees (online and in-person) from all over the world!

Fond memory from 2022? Share it with us:

From tutorials on APIs and testing to talks about burnout and async to hallway tracks where we made buttons and planned our sprint contributions, 2022 was DjangoCon US's best year ever!

This was another innovative 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 were able to add:

  • Hybrid Attendance, making the conference more accessible through online viewing of talks and sprint participation
  • Django Fellows: we are thrilled to have had both of the Django Fellows present during the conference, Carlton Gibson and Mariusz Felisiak
  • COVID-19 precautions: we validated vaccines, required boosters, masks, and a negative test to attend, all in the name of keeping our attendees safe

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