Summary

The organisers welcomed attendees to the final day of DjangoCon 2021 and thanked the Django Software Foundation, volunteers, local team, sponsors, speakers, keynote presenters, and people whose proposals were not selected. They noted that many sponsors had originally supported an in-person event but adapted to two virtual events, where engaging with attendees is harder. Miguel then highlighted the sponsors and their offerings, including profiling, the event platform, job opportunities, discounts, and developer tools. The opening closed by arguing that strong conference content brings people to DjangoCon, while the community is what encourages them to stay.

Key takeaways

  • The organisers thanked the Django Software Foundation, volunteers, local team, sponsors, attendees, speakers, and unsuccessful talk proposers.
  • Sponsors supported the event despite the difficulty of moving from planned in-person events to online conferences.
  • Miguel introduced sponsors offering tools, jobs, discounts, hosting, and other services.
  • The organisers said compelling content attracts people to DjangoCon, while the community keeps them involved.
