GopherCon Europe 2027
The European conference for engineers who build AI applications and the systems they run on. Go is the main language, and not the only one.
Our 10 year anniversary.
The European conference for engineers who build AI applications and the systems they run on. Go is the main language, and not the only one.
Our 10 year anniversary.
GopherCon Europe runs together with HeyAI, which covers applied AI: agents, model tooling, inference. GopherCon Europe covers the engineering underneath: the backends, cloud and platforms that have to stay fast and reliable at scale. Talks come from people who run these systems in production. The conference brings together developers, AI and platform teams, and the engineering leaders who decide what their teams build with.
Speakers, schedule and workshops are announced on this page. The call for speakers is announced here and in the newsletter.
The focus is wide on purpose. The common thread is people who run real systems and have to decide what to build with next.
About 350 attendees a day from 30+ countries. Over 30 % work outside Germany.
A conference pass covers all four days, 14-17 June 2027, including the open hacking sessions on 14 June. Combined passes also include a seat in a full-day workshop.
