Code BEAM V America Attendee

Code BEAM V is a top-notch conference for meeting and learning from the best in the Elixir and Erlang community!

Code BEAM V America Attendee

The toucan app was a choice above all others. It helped it feel like a community again.

Code BEAM V America Attendee

It honestly was the best online conference I've seen this year. The community engagement was great and the talks were excellent. The format worked, we all understand zoom etc better than we did at the beginning of the pandemic. It really went off with out a visible hitch! Well done!

Code BEAM V America Attendee

I loved the Toucan app. Of any electronic solution I have used during the pandemic it came the closest to making it feel like I was in the same room with other actual people. I also really enjoyed the one-day tutorial with Steven Nuñez and Sophie DeBenedetto. It was one of the best 1-day trainings I have done in my career.

Over 3 half days you will learn from 30+ cutting-edge talks and our in-depth training program, how BEAM languages are used in production and revolutionising areas like eCommerce, Engineering, IoT, Gaming, Blockchain, Fintech, Security, Machine Learning and more!

As always, community and social interaction will be at the core of the event to enable everyone to connect and interact to share the same experience as with our physical conferences. We offer the opportunity to mingle and meet naturally during coffee breaks and after show virtual party.

THEMES

INTRODUCTION TO ERLANG AND ELIXIR

If you're new to the languages there's no better place to start. The community is super helpful and supportive. And with the co-creator of Erlang and creator of Elixir in attnedance you'll be learning with the best.

LATEST ON THE BEAM ERLANG VM

Come and speak with Erlang committers about what's new in the Erlang eco-system.

SCALING AND RELIABILITY

Once you learn the potential of the BEAM, it's time to learn how to put it to good use in the real world. Join us to hear the stories of Erlang and Elixir in production and share your own experiences.

PRODUCTION USE CASES

In this track, we'll learn from other's experience, where things have been peachy and where they haven't been so much. The conferecne is set-up for you to ask the questions you want and to help others with the answrs to theirs.

FRAMEWORKS, TOOLS, LIBRARIES

In the frameworks track, you will discover what's coming next with frameworks like Phoenix, Nerves and more. This is the conference where people choose to share their new projects and releases.

WEB AND API

The BEAM is suitable for rapid web application development. There is much to learn about the technology's potential and we provide the time and space at our virtual conference to dig a little deeper.
