Developers, technology professionals, companies, researchers, entrepreneurs, students and industry leaders meet here. Ideas are shared, projects are demonstrated, problems are discussed, and the people who build technology meet the organisations that use it.

Python is at the core. The conversation covers

  • Software engineering
  • Data
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Automation
  • Cloud
  • Cybersecurity
  • Open source
  • Digital infrastructure
  • Research
  • Web development
  • Scientific computing

Across the two days

Attendees move between sessions, meet speakers, explore projects and find technology they would not come across in their everyday work.

  • Talks across technology and Python

    A broad programme on software development, data, AI and machine learning, automation, web, scientific computing, cloud, open source, developer tools, cybersecurity, research and engineering practice.

  • Panel discussions

    People with different experience debate the questions facing technology, industry, careers, innovation and Namibia's digital future, with time for audience questions.

  • Workshops and hands-on learning

    Practical sessions where participants explore tools and techniques in depth, experiment, and learn directly from experienced practitioners.

  • Project Showcase

    Namibian students, developers, communities and open source contributors demonstrate real, working projects they have built.

    About the Project Showcase

  • Exhibition and booths

    Organisations demonstrate products and technology, meet technical talent and talk with the people who use technology every day.

    Sponsorship options

  • Sponsor presentations and demos

    Selected sponsors present their work, demonstrate technology and share practical experience through approved sessions.

Explore projects being built in Namibia

The Project Showcase brings the work of Namibia's technology community into the centre of the conference: not as ideas, but as working projects people can see and try.

Namibian students, developers, communities and open source contributors demonstrate what they have built, and meet people who can offer feedback, expertise, collaboration, support and opportunities.

About the Project Showcase

Meet the organisations behind the technology

Exhibition and sponsor spaces put organisations in the room with the people who use their technology.

Exhibition and booths

Companies and organisations demonstrate their products, meet technical talent, speak with developers and share opportunities. Attendees discover organisations, careers, services and solutions relevant to their work.

Sponsor presentations and demonstrations

Selected sponsors can present their work, demonstrate technology or share practical experience through approved talks, demonstrations and sessions. Instead of only seeing a logo, attendees hear what an organisation is building, understand the problems it solves, and talk directly with the people behind it.

A chance to engage with technical talent and the wider technology community.
For developers
A chance to understand real industry challenges and see where your skills create value.

Technology and industry at PyCon Namibia

Why companies should be part of it

Sponsorship gives your organisation access to a concentrated community of people who build, use, research, teach and influence technology.

  • Build your technical reputation
  • Engage directly with developers
  • Introduce your technology to the people who use it
  • Meet potential employees
  • Connect with industry peers
  • Demonstrate your solutions
  • Contribute to conversations about Namibia's technology future

A visible investment in the ecosystem

Sponsoring and taking part show that your organisation is investing in Namibia's technology ecosystem. The strongest relationships begin with a conversation, and the Main Conference creates the setting for them.

View sponsorship packages Ask about a booth

Come for the technology. Stay for the connections.

  • You might come for a Python talk and discover a new approach to your work.
  • You might attend a panel and hear a perspective that changes how you think about an industry.
  • You might meet a developer who becomes a colleague, a contributor or a collaborator.
  • You might discover a company building something you want to work with.
  • Or you might demonstrate something you have built, and find the people who can help take it further.

That is what the Main Conference is about.

Technology is the conversation. Python is at the core. People are what make it happen.

Learn. Build. Connect. Share.

Join developers, technology professionals, companies, researchers, innovators and industry leaders at NIPAM, Windhoek, on 3–4 March 2027.
