FAQs
- Who are we?
-
We are a 2-day single track conference (with one extra day of training) primarily focused on the Elixir programming language. This year the conference will be Thursday/Friday and the training day will be on Saturday! Dates are February 27-29, 2020.
Talks from leaders in the industry range from beginner to advanced and from business use and case to coding education.
Some of our attendees play with Elixir as a side project, some use it in full time career positions. If you are curious or if you are experienced, there is something here for you. The conference provides breakfast and lunch onsite for attendees. Each day has plenty of social opportunities to network and build community.
