Elixir is Weird

A single-day, single-track, in-person-only event for all things weird, cool, and fun in Elixir!

Call for Speakers!

The event is seeking speakers that want to share anything they're doing with the Elixir programming language that can be "weird", "cool", or "fun". These should be creative or side projects, we're not interested in the traditional "serious" conference topics. What are some of the craziest ways that people are using Elixir?

Deadlines: We will have up to three rounds of speaker announcements. We'll make the first round of three speakers selected by early December. After that will run another round for the next three speakers shortly after January 1, 2025. The final round of five speakers will be announced early February, 2025.
