In plain English

awesome-egypt-tech-events is a community-maintained list of tech events, hackathons, student programs, bootcamps, conferences, and career fairs taking place in Egypt. It follows the "awesome list" format common on GitHub, where anyone can submit additions or corrections through a pull request. The list is organized into seven sections. Hackathons covers competitions from organizations like GDG, NASA Space Apps, and university groups, with notes on whether each event is student-friendly. The hiring and career events section lists job fairs and professional programs from companies such as Wuzzuf and Capgemini. Student programs and competitions includes recurring opportunities like the ICPC programming contest, Google Solution Challenge, and Microsoft Imagine Cup. Bootcamps and training covers government-backed and independent programs in topics ranging from AI to cybersecurity. Conferences and summits lists larger annual gatherings like Cairo ICT, RiseUp Summit, and Google I/O Extended Cairo. University and education fairs covers events aimed at students choosing programs. Finally, there is a section of useful event discovery websites to check regularly. Each entry in the tables includes the event name, organizer, typical timing, location, and a direct link. Many entries mark whether the event is accessible to students. The project also lists useful sources for finding events not yet in the list, including EgyptInnovate, The GrEEK Campus tech park, Eventbrite, and Devpost. The list was last updated in June 2026 and is released under a CC0 public domain license, meaning anyone can use or republish it freely. Contributions are open and there is a GitHub issue template for submitting new events.
