The line-up

Three communities under one roof

PyData Tanzania brings the data crowd together with two long-running sister events — so beginners, builders and researchers all find their track.

Flagship

PyData

The heart of the event: analytics, machine learning, MLOps and scientific computing. Tutorials and talks on pandas, PyTorch, scikit-learn, Polars and the tools moving African data forward.

Conference

PyCon

Tanzania's annual Python conference — web, backend, dev tooling and the craft of writing great software. Keynotes, lightning talks and the corridor conversations that start projects.

About the community

Free workshop

DjangoGirls

A free, beginner-friendly workshop helping more women build their first web app in Python and Django — mentored, welcoming and the start of many tech careers in Tanzania.
