Time to meet again <3 Scala Days 12 - 13 October 2026 Kulturbrauerei Berlin 2026 organizing host: Plain Schwarz

The Scala community has spent years working out what functional programming looks like in real systems, not just in theory. If it's how you think about code, you'll be in good company in Berlin. Stay tuned as we continue to spotlight more topics and sessions. #ScalaDays

VirtusLab has joined Scala Days 2026 as a Platinum Sponsor. 15+ years in the Scala ecosystem, contributing to the language itself and to tools like Metals, sttp, Tapir, and Ox. This kind of support is a big part of why Scala keeps moving forward. Learn more about them: virtuslab.com/

The Scala Days 2026 program is on its way. 🚀 Over the coming days, we'll start announcing sessions: in-depth technical talks, roadmap sessions, and live demos, plus the new interactive labs format where you build alongside maintainers in small groups of ten. Plenty to look forward to. #ScalaDays

We’ve designed Scala Days 2026 to be 30 minutes, followed by dedicated discussion time. No more sitting on the question you meant to ask. Every talk becomes the beginning of a discussion, not the end of one. We hope that you can join us in Berlin. #ScalaDays

Ask people what they remember from Scala Days 2025 and it's rarely just the talks. It's running into someone whose library you use every week, the hallway chat that turns into lunch and a few ideas leaving you refreshed and motivated. We're looking forward to more of it this year. #ScalaDays

Throwback to Scala Days 2025. The talks bring people in, but the community and connection keep them. This is what Scala Days looks like when the lanyards are on and the whole community is in one room. We get to do it again in Berlin this October. #ScalaDays #Scala

Over the years, the Scala community has told us what makes Scala Days valuable: the conversations, meeting people working on the same problems, reconnecting with friends, and getting hands-on. That feedback became the blueprint for our biggest redesign yet. Read about it: scaladays.org/scala-...
