Code BEAM Europe

Share. Learn. Inspire.

Our goal is simple: to create a vibrant platform where users of Elixir, Erlang, Gleam and other technologies based on BEAM VM can come together to share insights, get feedback on projects, and inspire each other to new heights.
Code BEAM has united Erlang & Elixir developers for years to grow and progress the community in the spirit of Share. Learn. Inspire.

Meet people and companies using and developing high performance, fault-tolerant and resilient applications that scale to billions of users in production in areas like Fintech, eCommerce, IoT, Gaming, Blockchain, Security, Machine Learning and more.

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION PROGRAMME

Each year we welcome a sponsor from our industry who funds the Diversity and Inclusion Programme. The programme broadens access to the conference and supports people who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend, with a focus on people new to Erlang, Elixir and Gleam, startups, and those from varied backgrounds. In 2026 our sponsor was AppSignal.

Want to sponsor the programme at the next Code BEAM Europe?

INFORMAL SPACE

The Informal Space was a format at Code BEAM Europe 2026: a third, community-led space alongside the two main tracks for everything that doesn't fit the talk format. Live demos, games you could actually play, hands-on clinics, hacking sessions and slightly larger lightning talks, from a cooperative Elixir shooter and live audio coding to BEAMers Got Talent, a hands-on ELP clinic and a whole-room game of Raft.

CONFERENCE VENUE IN 2026

PHIL

Lange Begijnestraat 11, 2011 HH Haarlem, The Netherlands

PHIL sits in the heart of Haarlem's old town, surrounded by shops, cafés and restaurants and a few minutes' stroll from the Grote Markt. Haarlem is one of the easiest cities to reach in the Netherlands: it's a direct, ~15-minute train ride from Amsterdam Centraal and around 30 minutes from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.

By train & public transport

Haarlem Centraal station is a 10-minute walk from PHIL, with direct trains from Amsterdam Centraal (~15 min) and Schiphol Airport (~30 min). Plan any train, bus or tram journey with the Dutch journey planner 9292.nl.

By car & parking

You can't drive up to the entrance, so park in one of the nearby public garages and walk the last few minutes:

De Appelaar — Damstraat 12 — right next to PHIL (~1 min walk). Closest option, but fills up quickly.
De Kamp — De Witstraat 1 — ~5 min walk.
Station Haarlem (Interparking) — ~10 min walk. Large, usually has space, and the only garage where you can reserve a spot online in advance.
Raaks — Zijlvest 45 — ~9 min walk.
Houtplein — Wagenmakerslaan 1 — ~13 min walk.
