Code BEAM Europe

Share. Learn. Inspire.

Join the major European event for Erlang, Elixir and Gleam users

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.

CALL FOR TALKS IS OPEN

Be a part of Code BEAM Europe 2026!

This year we’re accepting talks from people who are happy to deliver them in-person. We welcome proposals about Erlang, Elixir, Gleam, BEAM and other technologies and we are happy to support candidates from under-represented groups in the software development community. CFT closes: 31 May.

Whether you're just getting started or contributing to core projects, your experience matters. We're looking for 20 or 40-minute talks across these themes:

Data Sovereignty & Digital Autonomy – decentralised systems, compliance, localised vs global performance.
Open Source – maintaining libraries, attracting contributors, long-term sustainability.
Modern & Intelligent Architecture: Backend & IoT – high-throughput backends, resilient firmware, self-healing systems.
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.

New to speaking? We've got your back.

We believe some of the best insights come from people who don't yet realise they're speakers. If you have a great idea but aren't sure how to structure your proposal or deliver your talk, our Programme Committee is here to help. From refining your abstract to a friendly "sanity check" on your slides, we provide mentorship and guidance to ensure you feel confident when you step onto the stage at the Philharmonic.

Informal Space

This year we're also hosting a community-led informal space alongside the main programme. It may include all sorts of activities that would not exactly fit the talk format. Possible experiences you may find in this area will include: demos, panel discussions, slightly larger lightning talks, games, talks in languages other than English, hacking sessions and any other cool activity you can think of. If you have an idea of some informal activity you want to engage in or coordinate, let us know and we'll do our best to include it in the Informal Space.
