We will provide a clearly-marked designated quiet room. This room is intended to be a calm and quiet place for anyone who needs to have a break from the bustle of the conference, for whatever reason.

We’ll have boards available so you can let people know if you’re recruiting new team members, or looking for a new position yourself!

Lightning Talks (aka ⚡️Talks)
Lightning Talks are short (5-minute maximum) presentations. Signups for ⚡️Talks will be available at DjangoCon. If you submitted a talk, but it wasn't accepted, consider doing a ⚡️Talk version. Or, if you've never presented at a conference, a ⚡️Talk can be a great way to get started.
