The future of Django
2025-08-13 , Main Hall

Django turns 20 in 2025! This presents an excellent opportunity to think about the next 20 years – looking at trends, opportunities, and challenges we have to navigate as a community. We’ll review key aspects of the tech but also governance, and view this through the lense of what makes technologies compelling in the industry.


As President of the Django Software Foundation, I spend a lot of time thinking about the future of Django. This talk presents my personal views on where we’re heading and how we can steer the project. Navigating industry trends like the Artificial Intelligence tsunami and our open source volunteering challenges, the future of Django is something we have to work actively towards.
