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

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](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](https://codebeameurope.com/#newsletter)

2026/10/21-22 - Haarlem, NL & online

Hey all 👋

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

**2 days, 2 tracks each day** , and **3 keynotes** - [Brooklyn Zelenka](https://codebeameurope.com/participants/brooklyn-zelenka/) (_[Let It Disconnect: A Local-First Future](https://codebeameurope.com/keynotes/let-it-disconnect/)_), [Sam Aaron](https://codebeameurope.com/participants/sam-aaron/)of Sonic Pi (_[Notes on the Synthesis of Time](https://codebeameurope.com/keynotes/notes-on-the-synthesis-of-time/)_, plus [an interactive evening Phone Orchestra](https://codebeameurope.com/keynotes/the-phone-orchestra/)), and more

~30 speakers across Erlang, Elixir and Gleam: [ElixirConf®](http://elixirconf.com/#speakers)

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](http://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.

Register: [Code BEAM Europe](http://codebeameurope.com/#register)

See you in Haarlem or online!
