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.
My DjangoCon US 2025 Plans (and How to Find Me)
If you will be at DjangoCon US next week, let's meet up. If you can't attend, please buy an online ticket to help support our event and future online conferences.

👋 Hi friends, if you have been putting off buying an online/virtual ticket for @djangocon this year, please buy one sooner than later.
If you were on the fence, three of live talks (or you can stream in before or after the conference) is $99 aka $33 a day.
This also gives you access to the hackathon that will be running next week, and we have two days of virtual sprints that anyone may join.
YouTube is annoying. We ran into 153 errors at DjangoCon US because of some changes YouTube were A/B testing.
Today, I noticed they rolled it out and all of our video embeds on https://djangotv.com were causing 153s until I deployed the latest version of lite-youtube-embed.
If anyone sees a feature or bug and you want to report it, I track them on https://github.com/django-news/djangotv-roadmap/issues and eventually get around to them.
