Since this has come up a few times, #DjangoConUS took a proactive approach about the uncertainty we faced before holding the event in Chicago.
Here's the post we published and sent to attendees. https://2025.djangocon.us/news/travel-to-chicago/
We set up a Travel Safety Registration system so we can verify attendees made it every step of the way, and we had volunteers check-in with everyone.
We also processed cancellations and issued dozens of online tickets for attendees who didn't feel safe.
@adamghill just crushed a lightning talk on #SQLite in production at #DjangoConUS ⚡️ And if that wasn’t enough… he followed it up with a giveaway + free stickers!!! 💚 ✨
Just shared a short video of my favorite DjangoCon US 2025 moments in Chicago 🎥✨
It’s been amazing to meet so many Django folks in person, exchange ideas, and hack together 🤝💻
Thank you for the warm welcome, you made me feel at home! 🙏💙

#DjangoCon 2025
From 10,000 kilometers away to the heart of Chicago, I just experienced unforgettable days at DjangoCon US 2025.
Three incredible days of joy, learning, and networking at DjangoCon US 2025 in Chicago have just come to an end. It was my second time attending #DjangoCon, and my first time experiencing the vibrant city of Chicago.
This year marked the 20th anniversary of #django. I truly believe Django can continue to thrive for many years, thanks to its strong and passionate community.
#DjangoCon US is officially over for me. Freaking love this community and event! It perennially convinces me that investing my time and energy into it is worth it.
I'm sure my write up will be concise 😅
