Are you building Phoenix applications at scale? We want to hear from you.
We’re looking for talks on:
Advanced Contexts & Boundaries - How are you structuring large Phoenix codebases for long-term maintainability?
High-Performance Optimization - What strategies are you using to minimize latency, optimize endpoints, and leverage new BEAM features?
LiveView at Scale - Share your patterns for complex component architectures, JavaScript interop, and browser-server optimization.
Testing & Maintenance - Advanced Ecto testing, comprehensive LiveView testing patterns, and property-based testing strategies.
If you’ve solved real problems in production Phoenix applications, the community needs to learn from your experience.
Call for talks closes January 6th - submit your proposal now ElixirConf EU
Less than 3 weeks until CFT closes for ElixirConf EU 2026.

Elixir 1.19: Up to 4x faster builds + smarter type checking
José Valim’s ElixirConf EU keynote revealed exciting improvements coming to Elixir:
Compilation speed: Some projects going from 7min → 3.5min builds
Type system: Finding bugs at compile time without code changes
Interoperability: PythonX, C++ integration, and more
The best part? The type system finds errors for free - no annotations needed.

Building systems that scale to billions requires the right architecture
ElixirConf EU 2026 features 9 talks exploring distributed systems, background job processing, and architectures that handle massive scale - from 10 million jobs per day to 2 billion records, from global cloud deployments to networks without internet.
Featured speakers: Hugo Baraúna, Noelia Lencina, Zach Daniel, Marcio Klepacz, Anton Borisov, Peter Ullrich, Silvia Zeamer, A.Vivekbala A, Marcin Kulik
Three architectural insights across these sessions:
→ Master distributed Erlang and background processing - Learn production-proven primitives powering Livebook’s multi-node architecture, scale Oban to 10M jobs/day with Postgres health strategies, and understand when to choose Oban vs GenServers vs Broadway for your workload
→ Build durable, reliable workflows - Discover how to model work as application state rather than transient jobs using AshFramework and AshStateMachine. Compare workflow orchestration systems like Gust with background job libraries, and implement Kafka-backed applications at scale with patterns from Fresha
→ Deploy across extreme conditions - See Erlang clusters mapped across 100+ cloud datacenters, understand how to process 2 billion records daily with a team of three, and learn to build distributed systems that work without reliable internet using gossip protocols
From theoretical primitives to production battle scars, these talks cover the full spectrum of distributed systems.
