I came from over 10,000 kilometers away, with 16 hours of flights, leaving my family and team to attend this event. In the end, it was absolutely worth it - and I would do it again, even if I had to fly from the other side of the planet.
I hope to bring the spirit of DjangoCon to my hometown, my country, and Central Asia.
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.

On my flight home from my first #Djangocon. It was a lovely event with a clearly intentional focus on community. I really appreciated the vegan / dairy-free food options, including dessert every day (I rarely get to have dessert at conferences!) Plus I learned a thing or two! I'll be doing my best to be back again.
I had a few extra moments at the airport before my flight so I decided to post the script to the first part of my #DjangoCon talk.
Give it a whirl to whet your appetite.
Just attended the Closing Remarks at DjangoCon US 2025 by Keanya Phelps. Feeling deeply thankful to be welcomed into this amazing community. Immense gratitude to all organizers, volunteers, speakers, and sponsors for making this conference so inspiring. Being here reminds me how much we grow together, share knowledge, and celebrate Django across the globe. Excited to carry this energy forward! @djangocon #DjangoCon
