Announcing Our Talk Lineup!

The Django community and beyond submitted a record number of incredible talk proposals, and selecting these talks was extremely difficult. We were only able to accept 16% of the submissions we received, and appreciate the effort everyone put into their submissions; thank you! Another huge thank-you to our reviewers, without whom this list would still be weeks in the making.

We’ll also announce the tutorial schedule in just a few days, and the conference schedule will be available very soon. Congratulations to the speakers of the 41 talks below!
