We’re excited to announce that Code BEAM Europe 2026 is now open for talk submissions
There are three ways to get involved:
Submit a talk
Join the* waiting list to get the best ticket prices as an attendee
Become a sponsor
If you’re working with Erlang, Elixir, Gleam, or anything in the BEAM ecosystem, we’d love to hear from you -whether you’re deep into internals, scaling systems in production, or exploring new ideas.
Talk details:
20 or 40-minute slots
In-person at the Philharmonic in Haarlem, Netherlands
Presented to both a live and virtual audience
Topics we’re especially interested in this year:
Data sovereignty & digital autonomy
Open source sustainability
Backend & IoT architecture
BEAM adoption & team growth
Production realities & lessons learned
Scalability & green computing
Not sure if your idea fits? Submit it anyway — we’re always open to fresh perspectives.
If you’re new to speaking, the programme committee offers mentorship to help you shape your abstract and refine your slides.
We’re also committed to reflecting the diversity of the BEAM community. If you know someone doing great work, please encourage them to apply or suggest them through the submission form.
As part of my submission preparations I am walking through the submission form, and found a field “TBD” between blusky and github details. What do you expect to be done here?
Took me a while to understand that “X” was not a placeholder, but the name of a product/service formerly known as “twitter”, and rereading with that understanding put some sense in your sentence
Happy to see BEAM come to the Netherlands. Hoping the pricing will not break the bank for individuals with no company backing. For me at least the travel expenses are reduced to < 50 euros!
We’re also committed to reflecting the diversity of the BEAM community.
I ever get so confused about that. I still insist on helping white male with financial trouble as these too are part of the diverse community. We are not all well beings; especially those in trouble could use some support. Last time I addressed it and asked if the support was also including those, I got excluded from the topic. I trust our open nature and diverse community will prevent from that happening again.
Now, back to the invitation. Anyone already sharing their submission?
Subjective, so it is not a boolean. Last time I checked the prices seemed high - to me. Bill Gates and Elon Musk did not share my view.
For companies invested in the BEAM the prices are not an issue I suppose, but they might be too high for companies (and certainly individual) not in the ecosystem.
I did make the call for me as an individual that the price was too high for me at that time. Lets see how this year goes (I would not even need a hotel die to the short distance…)
For the record: not blaming, just observations with derived analysis (which might be 100% wrong).
Not every great idea fits a talk slot - and that’s exactly why we’re hosting an informal space at Code BEAM Europe 2026.
Think demos, panel discussions, hacking sessions, lightning talks, games, or conversations in your language of choice. If you have something you want to run or coordinate, we want to hear about it.
The best conferences happen in the spaces between the official programme. This is us making room for that. Have an idea? Let us know. 21–22 October · Philharmonic, Haarlem
This is the reminder, that you can submit your talk for Code BEAM Europe 2026, 21-22 October in Haarlem, Netherlands.
This is a good opportunity to present a solution you have built, a product you are developing, or to discuss an interesting topic related to BEAM technologies (Erlang, Elixir, Gleam, and others).
If you have never spoken at a conference before, you are very welcome to apply. We are happy to support first-time speakers as well as candidates from under-represented groups in the software community. We offer comprehensive mentorship, which includes help with evaluating your idea, refining your abstract, and structuring your slides.
This year, we are looking for 20 or 40-minute in-person talks across the following themes:
Data Sovereignty & Digital Autonomy, decentralized systems, compliance, localized vs. global performance.
Open Source, maintaining libraries, attracting contributors, long-term sustainability.
Growth & Adoption, introducing BEAM into existing stacks, team building, and developer education.
Real-World Production Realities, DevOps lifecycles, technical debt, lessons from high-stakes deployments.
Scalability & Sustainability, resource efficiency, green computing, balancing performance and longevity.
The deadline for submissions is 31 May. You can submit your proposals here: Code BEAM Europe
We look forward to reading your submissions. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your idea before applying, please feel free to reach out to us at info@codesync.com.
Hello everyone! We are thrilled to announce something wonderful for your community.
We’re launching Code BEAM Europe 2026 on 21-22 October in Haarlem, NL (and virtually). It is a 2-day technical conference for engineers and developers working with Erlang, Elixir, Gleam, and the BEAM ecosystem. Speakers will be announced soon. You will be able to check it on our website: https://codebeameurope.com
The Early Bird ticket sales start on 16 June at 12:00 PM. If you plan to attend, the best way to get the lowest price is to join our waiting list now - https://codebeameurope.com/#newsletter
By joining the list, you’ll get two main benefits:
You get an email notice 24h before the sale opens, and again at the sale’s grand opening.
You get early access to a small number of Super Early Bird tickets. These tickets are limited, so they will be given to those who buy them first.
Whether you’re deeply involved with Elixir, Erlang, Gleam, or just exploring the wider BEAM ecosystem, we’d love for you to join us. We’re meeting in person at the beautiful PHIL Philharmonic in Haarlem, the Netherlands, as well as online, on October 21–22 (with hands-on training sessions on October 20).
What to expect:
Keynotes: We’re thrilled to host Brooklyn Zelenka (Founder of Fission, BEAM Vancouver) and Sam Aaron (Creator of Sonic Pi).
Content: 2 tracks each day packed with cutting-edge talks from 30 speakers across the global community.
Informal Space: A community-led area dedicated to demos, hacking sessions, games, panel discussions, and lightning talks. Connect and share ideas with 300+ fellow attendees!
All Important Links:
Early Bird Registration(Note: the discount applies to the conference only, not the training).
Will we see you in Haarlem or on the virtual streams? Let us know in the thread if you’re planning to come or if you have any questions about the event!
Cheers, The Code BEAM Team
(PS: If your company is interested in sponsoring and supporting the ecosystem, feel free to reach out to us!)
~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: codebeameurope.com/#newsletter
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.
Have an idea? Let us know.
21–22 October · Philharmonic, Haarlem
