Welcome Session

Speaker 1: Hey everyone, welcome to Dublin to DjangoCon Europe 2025. Hope uh your trip here was uh pleasant. Uh so let's get to it. So here we have a map of the previous Django cons. We've been painting Europe for the past few years. It's for it's the first time that uh Jungle Carn Europe comes to Ireland. It's not as convenient to get here by train, but I know a bunch of you did. So here's the venues planned for uh the weekdays.

Speaker 1: So Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Right now we are in the auditorium. Uh if you as soon as you leave these doors and you cross the hallway, you'll have the coffee break and lunch uh room. Uh for lunch there's also an overflow room. If you want to sit down, you go out and then to the left. There's uh also lunch being served there And then if you leave the auditorium to the right, it's the workshop room. Uh coffee break will also be served in the check-in area. And there is also a quiet room right on the other side of all this noise. Uh and it has uh EU sockets and UK sockets. We saw a bunch of you on Slack.

Speaker 1: We saw a bunch of you on Slack asking for sockets and it's the same on the workshop room. So we'll have like uh a bunch of uh EU plugs, uh as well as EUK ones. So everyone should be good to go. If you need more just uh feel free to reach out. We brought them all the way back from uh Portugal on a car, on a boat, and we drove them here And uh yeah, and this is the the venue plant for uh the sprints. So Saturday and Sunday. We have the where the coffee breaks and take place. It will be the sprints. And uh Then on the quiet room it will be a dedicated room for uh Django girls. And then there's another room which you'll need to wait until the weekend if you wanna

Speaker 1: get there for the coffee break and lunch. Uh you might have noticed, or maybe not, that there is like this photo and no photo signs over there. So if you are wearing a red lanyard, that means no photo. A blue one means photo. If you Right now you don't need to worry, but if on the future you wanna be sure that you're not on the photos, you can stay there and it's easier for uh our photographer Bia to to not have you in the photos. And uh now a word of caution. I saw a bunch of you getting the water bottles from our sponsor Devue and uh you went right away to put some water. But you need to take the paper out first.
