This second edition builds on the incredible success of the inaugural DjangoCon Africa held in Zanzibar in 2023. That event welcomed over 200 attendees from 22+ countries, with more than half of the participants being women — a powerful statement about the growing diversity and strength of the African tech ecosystem.
