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 😄
Just got off stage with @carlton at DjangoCon Europe 2026 🇬🇷
We shared the next edition of Django on the Med 🧳
→ Pescara, Italy 🇮🇹
→ 23–25 September 2026

Then I also introduced PyCon Italia 2026
→ Bologna, Italy 🇮🇹
→ 28–30 May 2026

And on May 27 there will be a free community day with workshops, including a special “Django Off The Med” session 🙂
I'm planning to do a lightning ⚡ talk tonight - To JWT or not to JWT - why JSON Web Tokens might not be the one size that fits all (in my opinion)
vote for me in the #DjangoCon Chat:

In the 2nd Talk of the day - Andrew Northall taked about Caving (he really does that for fun!?) and how he collects and analyzes accident reports into structured data. One problem was the specificity of Data - he solved that by adding Treebeard to have a hierarchy of data that can be searched.
🔥 💙 DAY TWO and still on fire!
From agentic coding to adding observability to a Django app, and even navigating the modern-day job hunt — today's talks and workshops are as good as it gets. And there's more.
Stay tuned. 🌺 👀
✨Wandering around the DjangoCon Europe 2026 venue? Stop by the
Preply booth—our Gold Sponsor—to say hi, connect and hear what they’re building.
Once again, thank you Preply for helping make this possible!💙🩷
Very interesting talk about packaging and shipping your Django App to run in a Desktop Context through Electron by @jochen - It's apparently not that different from running on the web and since there's only one user at a time, it needs way less resources.

💎Say hello to Yodeck, our Diamond Sponsor!
Don’t miss the chance to stop by their booth, meet the team and get a closer look at the company's work. We’re SO grateful to Yodeck for supporting the conference in such a big way.🧡
For anyone not in the #DjangoCon Chat - you should absolutely check out the blog by Reinout van Rees - https://reinout.vanrees.org/weblog/index.html
He's doing really comprehensive summaries of all the talks he's visited and keeps documenting them for posterity.
And plugging his vacation photos 😅
Cool Lightning talk at #djangoconeu2026 by @mastacheata about JWT 😊
