CODE MESH V 2020 - BACK THIS NOVEMBER!

Code Mesh V is a two-day virtual conference, bringing together users and speakers of different functional programming languages and alternative tech. 

The conference will run virtually across US and European time zones so that you can participate no matter where you are located.

Day 1: Thursday, 10:00 - 18:00 GMT Check the times where you are

Day 2: Friday, 16:00 - 24:00 GMT or 11:00 - 19:00 US Eastern Time Check the times where you are.

We bring together a wide range of alternative technologies and programming languages and the diverse people who use them to solve real-world problems in the software industry. We promote “the right tools for the job", as opposed to automatically choosing the tools at hand. And by ‘tools’ we mean technologies, programming languages, libraries, databases, operating systems, hardware platforms, or more general techniques, styles or paradigms.

In the spirit of learning from one another, it encourages the sharing of innovative ideas, through inspiring projects, top talks, in-depth tutorials, and networking opportunities. 

A combined Half or Full-Day Tutorial and Conference ticket combo can be purchased via our Eventbrite page which you can reach from the ticket section below. Once on Eventbrite, you can select which of the inspiring tutorials you would like to attend - for any help you can email us directly at training@erlang-solutions.com
