Uganda is hosting PyCon Africa 2026

By -


From 7th–11th October 2026, PyCon Uganda proudly hosts PyCon Africa in the Pearl of Africa, Kampala, Uganda.

This isn’t just another developer conference.
This is Africa writing code together.

We are bringing the entire African Python ecosystem, and friends from across the world, into one vibrant space filled with ideas, mentorship, innovation, and unforgettable community spirit.

Africa’s developers. One stage.

Across our continent, Python powers startups, research labs, fintech platforms, classrooms, AI projects, health systems, and climate solutions. At PyCon Africa 2026, we gather the people behind that impact.

We will:

  • Share real African solutions built with Python

  • Connect beginners with mentors and role models

  • Grow careers through workshops and collaboration

  • Build tools that solve local and global problems

  • Celebrate open-source contributors shaping our future

We don’t wait for opportunity, we create it together.

What to expect

For five full days, Uganda transforms into a living hub of technology and culture:

Talks that inspire

Engineers, researchers, educators, and founders from across Africa and beyond will present powerful stories and technical deep dives, from AI and data science to web, DevOps, and embedded systems.

Hands-on workshops

You won’t just listen.
You’ll build. You’ll debug. You’ll deploy.

We design beginner-friendly sessions and advanced tracks so everyone grows, whether this is your first print("Hello, Africa") or your thousandth production deployment.

Community & collaboration

Hallway conversations will spark startups.
Mentorship sessions will shape careers.
Open-source sprints will launch new tools for the continent.

Culture, connection, and celebration

We host you the Ugandan way, warm, energetic, and unforgettable. Expect friendships, laughter, and experiences that extend far beyond the conference venue.

Why Uganda?

Because community lives here.

Our Python community has grown through meetups, teaching programs, student outreach, and relentless volunteer effort. Hosting PyCon Africa is not just an honor, it’s a responsibility we embrace with excitement.

We want every attendee to leave with:

  • New skills

  • New collaborators

  • New confidence

  • A new understanding of Africa’s tech future
