Opportunity Grants

Our grants program is an important tool that helps us realize a goal of creating an inclusive, respectful conference that welcomes people of all races, ethnicities, genders, ages, abilities, religions, and sexual orientations. We provide financial assistance so people who might otherwise not be able to afford to join our event are more able to attend.

Grants recipients for in-person tickets can have some part of their expenses (which can include travel, hotel, registration) paid from PyConZA's budget. Remote attendee grant recipients can have their ticket price covered. We actively encourage people to apply for these grants.

Our grants program prioritizes people with relatively low income, speakers, sprint coordinators, active builders of Python community, and notable open source contributors. However, anyone who would be financially burdened by attending PyConZA is encouraged to apply.
