# Conference Background
PyCon Togo 2025 marked a historic milestone as the **very first PyCon organized in Togo**. Designed as a **national conference**, it aimed to bring together Python enthusiasts from across the country beginners, intermediates, and experts under one roof.
The conference was initiated and organized by a group of young Togolese, together with volunteers from other African countries, under the umbrella of the **Python Togo community**. Python Togo is a non-profit community dedicated to:
* promoting the use of the Python programming language,
* empowering new generations of Python developers,
* advancing open-source technologies in the country, and
* positioning Togo on the international map of Python and technology.
Beyond programming, the conference sought to encourage **innovation through Python and open-source projects**, with a focus on areas such as artificial intelligence and community-driven software development.
The conference attracted participants from **across Togo’s regions** and also from neighboring and international countries, making it not just a national but also a regional and global event. Nationalities represented included **Togo, Nigeria, Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, and Ghana**, while online participation extended to the **United States, France, the Netherlands, and several countries in Africa, Europe, America, and Asia**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://report.pytogo.org/conference-background.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
