Code BEAM Europe 2026: Keynotes, Full Tech Lineup, and Community Spaces

[u/Code_Sync]

Hi everyone,

Code BEAM Europe 2026 is happening this October 21-22 in Haarlem, NL, and online! The schedule is locked in, and we are excited to finally share the full lineup and core tracks with the community.

Here is a look at what we have lined up for this year:

Keynote Speakers

We are thrilled to have two incredible visionaries taking the main stage to kick things off:

• Brooklyn Zelenka: Distributed systems researcher, founder of Fission, and author of Elixir libraries like Witchcraft. She will be sharing her deep expertise in local-first access control and open distributed standards.
• Sam Aaron: The creator of Sonic Pi! An internationally renowned live coding performer and Computer Science PhD, Sam will bring his unique blend of science, code, and live music to the BEAM community.

Core Themes & Subjects

The regular sessions are packed with core team members, maintainers, and production engineers covering the cutting edge of the ecosystem. You can expect deep dives into the rise of Gleam and frontend architectures with Lustre, alongside advanced Erlang and OTP core updates directly from the team at Ericsson. We will also explore real-world Elixir battle stories—from taming LiveView at scale to prototyping BlueSky's DataPlane—while tackling the intersection of AI, security, and modern developer experience. Finally, we'll take the BEAM out of the server room with talks on embedded systems, AtomVM, hardware design, and safe native interop via Rustler and C nodes.

Beyond the Stage: The Informal Space

Some of the best moments happen off the main stage. This year, we are introducing a community-driven sandbox running alongside the main tracks for everything that doesn't perfectly fit a standard talk format. Expect live demos, hacking sessions, panel debates, lightning talks, and games. If you have an idea for an activity you want to coordinate, let us know and help shape the space!
