Call for proposals
The CFP is open. We'd like to hear from you.
We're looking for talks, tutorials, and posters from across the African Python community and beyond. First-time speakers are especially welcome — tick the mentorship box on the form and we'll pair you with an experienced reviewer for one round of feedback before the deadline.
Talks are 25 minutes. Tutorials run 90 minutes. Posters display for both main-conference days.
