About This Event

Code BEAM Europe 2026 brings the Erlang, Elixir and Gleam communities together to exchange engineering experience and explore the future of BEAM-based software. Its programme covers practical production challenges, distributed architecture, open-source development, data autonomy, backend and IoT systems, and sustainable scalability. The conference offers opportunities for developers and technical teams to learn from language creators, maintainers and practitioners.

Alongside the technical programme, attendees can join community activities and meet fellow engineers. Readers planning other industry visits can explore upcoming technology and crypto events on Bitnxt. Those following the wider digital-asset sector can also browse Bitnxt’s crypto news for independent industry coverage.
