Summary

Django Girls is an international non-profit organization that aims to introduce more women to programming, providing training materials for one-day workshops on Python and Django. To organize a successful event, it's essential to plan ahead, secure sponsors, recruit coaches, find a suitable venue, offer diverse food options, and leverage social media. A well-organized team can make a significant difference in the success of an event, as demonstrated by the Django Girls Grand Rapids experience, which introduced nearly 40 women to programming and had a positive impact on attendees' lives.
