Gelato break during DjangoCon Europe 2026… in a place called Django in Athens🍦😄
Couldn’t not stop here.
Thinking of @mariatta , this feels very on brand for her conference selfies 😄
🎤 Keynote speaker: @carlton
We're elated to announce Carlton Gibson as a keynote speaker for DjangoCon Europe 2026! 🎉
Carlton is a former Django Fellow and the creator/maintainer of multiple open-source projects in the Django ecosystem. You may also know him as the co-host of the @djangochat podcast. All in all, we just had to have him in Athens. 🇬🇷✨
Can't wait to hear everything he has to share! 🌟
Just got off stage with @carlton at DjangoCon Europe 2026 🇬🇷

And on May 27 there will be a free community day with workshops, including a special “Django Off The Med” session 🙂
Day 1 of DjangoCon Europe 2026 in Athens is done 🇬🇷
As always, the best part is the people. Old friends, folks I’ve shared so many moments with, volunteers, and lots of new faces.
Also had a few people come up during the day to chat, ask about my talk, share feedback… those small moments really stay with you 🙂
This is the human side of the Django community.
Closing session just wrapped up at DjangoCon Europe 2026 in Athens 🇬🇷
Final thanks, hugs, goodbyes… and that feeling that it went by too fast.
See you somewhere down the road 🙂
I forgot to lock my screen and they've been making plans
Feeling grateful to attend #djangocon and meet and socialize with friends from all around the world - being in a position to travel is a privilege one should not take for granted 👑 🦄
Wrapping up the first day of DjangoCon Europe 2026 with a big dinner in Athens 🇬🇷
After a full day of talks, now sitting at a long table with people from all over Europe, sharing stories and really good Greek food 🙂
These moments are just as important as the talks and workshop.
After the sprint day at DjangoCon Europe 2026 🇬🇷
We went for a long walk through Athens with the Parthenon in the background, then a great dinner with Greek food and one last drink before calling it a night 🍷
Always special to spend this kind of time together, especially meeting new people along the way 🙂

Took the chance to snap an unofficial selfie while we were all there… couldn’t wait for the official one 😄
