The tech landscape in West Africa is experiencing unprecedented growth, and at the heart of this transformation lies a vibrant community of Python developers who are pushing boundaries and creating innovative solutions for local and global challenges.

When we first conceptualized PyCon Senegambia, our vision was simple yet ambitious: create a platform where developers, innovators, and thought leaders from Gambia and Senegal could come together to share knowledge, collaborate, and build the future of technology in our region.

The Genesis of PyCon Senegambia

The idea was born from countless conversations with local developers who expressed a desire for a world-class Python conference right here in West Africa. We recognized that while our region has immense talent, many developers lacked access to the kind of high-quality technical content and networking opportunities that conferences like PyCon US or EuroPython provide.

Technology is not just about code; it's about community, collaboration, and creating solutions that matter to our people.

Building Bridges Across Borders

One of the most exciting aspects of PyCon Senegambia is its cross-border nature. By bringing together developers from both Gambia and Senegal, we're fostering collaboration that transcends national boundaries and creates a unified tech ecosystem in the Senegambia region.

Join us as we build the future, one line of Python code at a time.
