PyCon Uganda Launches Travel Aid for the 2025 Conference

By -

PyCon Uganda 2025 is just around the corner, happening from August 6th to 9th in Kampala, and we want more people from across Uganda to be part of it. That’s why we’ve launched a Travel Aid Program to help domestic attendees cover their transport costs to and from the conference.

We believe great tech events should be accessible to everyone, not just those in the city. If you're a Python enthusiast living outside Kampala, this is your chance to join the community in person.

What the Travel Aid Covers

The Travel Aid will only support transport costs for eligible applicants traveling to PyCon Uganda 2025. It does not include:

  • Conference tickets
  • Meals or accommodation

Successful applicants will receive a transport reimbursement based on distance and available funding.

Who Can Apply?

You can apply if you:

  • Live outside Kampala
  • Need financial support for travel
  • Are passionate about Python or active in the local tech community
  • Plan to attend all three days of the event

This aid is especially ideal for students, early-career developers, freelancers, and those from underrepresented regions in tech.

Why We're Doing This

We want to see diverse voices and talents represented at PyCon Uganda 2025. By easing the burden of travel costs, we hope to bring more Ugandan tech enthusiasts into the room to learn, grow, and build together.

How to Apply

  • Deadline: July 20th

The application is simple and takes just a few minutes. We will evaluate applications on a rolling basis, so apply early to increase your chances.

Join Us in Kampala

You bring the passion, we’ll help you get here.

PyCon Uganda 2025 is your chance to meet Pythonistas from across the region, gain new skills, and get inspired by what’s possible with code.
