The Erlang, Elixir, Gleam and Friends Devroom will take place in person at FOSDEM on Saturday (afternoon), 30th January 2027.
Our mission is to make the BEAM ecosystem and its community welcoming and accessible to everyone. We want this devroom to feature talks from the BEAM community, for everyone, whether you are just discovering Erlang, Elixir or Gleam, or have been using them for years.
We welcome everything from beginner-friendly introductions and community stories to deep technical dives. Whatever your topic, please provide enough background and context to help people with different levels of experience follow along.

- Introduction to the language
- Recent features and roadmap
