Hey all 👋

Sharing a heads-up about Code BEAM Europe 2026 - 21-22 October in Haarlem (PHIL), plus online, with a training day on 20 October.

2 days, 2 tracks each day, and 3 keynotes - including Brooklyn Zelenka (Let It Disconnect: A Local-First Future), Sam Aaronof Sonic Pi (Notes on the Synthesis of Time, plus an interactive evening Phone Orchestra), and more.

~30 speakers across Erlang, Elixir and Gleam: ElixirConf®

The thing we're most excited about this year is the new Informal Space - a community-led area running alongside the main programme for the stuff that doesn't fit the talk format. Think hands-on demos, live experiments on real hardware, hacking sessions, games, panel-style discussions, talks in languages other than English… and at least one surprise we're not spoiling yet 🙂

We're finalising the Informal Space lineup now and will announce it soon. Newsletter subscribers get the first look(they already have), so if you don't want to miss it - and the other bits we'll be dropping between now and October - that's the place to be: Code BEAM Europe

Early bird tickets are limited - available for a limited time / until they sell out - so if you're planning to come, worth sorting sooner rather than later.

See you in Haarlem or online!
