Hiii,
I’m coming with some questions about Elixir events. I’ll appreciate every answer!
- What type of Elixir events do you prefer to attend, and which are the most valuable for you (online/offline, meetups, workshops, conferences)? If you want to share why in a few more words, that would mean a lot for us.
- What are the main reasons you don’t join events today (timing, value, level, location, etc.)?
- Is there anything missing in Elixir events (topics, formats, networking space) that would make you show up?
- If there were an expert-focused, paid event, what would it need to include to be worth your time?

I like a mix of the larger events, the meetups, the little satellite pre-conference events we put on sometimes.
I like doing hands on technical stuff with folks in the community and the conferences don’t typically offer this, except maybe/sometimes trainings.
I attend a ton of things relatively speaking. But I am more on the building community and increasing activity side of things than regular attendance
Hands on hackathons. Gather your community, connect with a project, grind some PRs in person. Trigger more people to engage deeper and contribute.
Multi-day training in retreat format. Focused time to get better at in-depth topics and some less structured parts to make it fit the stuff I do.
The trainers would need to be primarily people with a strong reputation for teaching and deep knowledge in the ecosystem.
Price could be fairly high if the format was good enough.
But I think it is very hard to execute well (for me to value it as an attendee) as I don’t feel I am constrained in learning things or access to knowledgeable people. I am constrained mostly by time.
But I’d enjoy a focused, dedicated, no-distractions format.
