Code BEAM Europe 2026

The European conference for the BEAM ecosystem — Erlang, Elixir, Gleam and the runtime underneath them — with language creators and core maintainers on the programme. Distributed systems, fault tolerance and concurrency treated as engineering rather than folklore. Two days from 09:00 on 21 October at the Philharmonie in central Haarlem, about fifteen minutes by train from Amsterdam Centraal. New this year is an unconference room that attendees self-organise — the hallway track with a door on it. Tickets from EUR 595; the Amsterdam Elixir group publishes a community discount code, and an RSVP on Meetup is not a ticket. Why go: the one European week when the people who maintain the BEAM are all in one building, and the unconference makes it easy to get time with them. Best for backend engineers running Elixir or Erlang in production.
