Code BEAM Europe 2026 - In Person, Haarlem
📍 PHIL, Lange Begijnestraat 11, Haarlem (15 min by train from Amsterdam Centraal, 30 min from Schiphol) · 🗓️ 21–22 October 2026
Two days in one room with the developers, maintainers and engineering teams shaping the future of the Erlang, Elixir & Gleam ecosystem - and everything else that runs on the BEAM.
No marketing keynotes. Just real architectures, real production stories, and the people who build the libraries you depend on - sharing what actually works, in person.

Why be in the room
- Hallway track > any talk. Meet maintainers and contributors from across the BEAM, in person
- Ask the hard questions face to face with people running BEAM systems at scale
- One venue in the heart of Haarlem's old town - a 10-minute walk from Haarlem Centraal, surrounded by cafés, and a short hop from Amsterdam
What you'll dig into this year
Data Sovereignty & Digital Autonomy - Building decentralised systems on the BEAM, navigating compliance, and the real trade-offs between local control and global-scale performance.
Open Source Sustainability -Keeping foundational libraries secure, compatible and alive: the practical work of maintenance, and how projects attract and keep contributors for the long haul.
Modern & Intelligent Architecture: Backend & IoT - High-throughput backends meet the edge: resilient IoT firmware and self-healing systems deployed in the wild.
Growth & Adoption - Getting Erlang, Elixir and Gleam into existing stacks - plus the team-building, education and retention realities behind it.
Real-World Usage & Production Realities - Candid lessons from the front lines: DevOps lifecycles, technical debt in aging systems, and running BEAM services in high-stakes environments.
Scalability & Sustainability - Beyond "just scale up": resource efficiency, the environmental footprint of distributed computing, and patterns that balance performance with the long term.
🎟 Grab your in-person ticket - seats at PHIL are limited.
Come discover the future of the BEAM - and help invent it.
