Overview Programme Venue Sponsors SkillsCasts

PolyConf is a three-day, single track, multi-disciplinary conference on advanced technologies for programmers interested in polyglot approach to software development.

PolyConf is not focused on any particular language or area of technology. Our mission is to promote polyglot approach to software development and foster cross-pollination between various technologies and their communities.

We want to focus primarily on JavaScript, Clojure and Erlang along with decent topics both from mainstream and esoteric programming languages (Julia, Racket, Lua), so the programming community could easily learn from each other.

The event will take place July 2-4 in POZnan, Poland. Among invited speakers:

Robert Virding / Co-creator of Erlang,
Bodil Stokke / Functional programmer
Stefan Karpinski / Julia co-creator
William Byrd / Postdoctoral Researcher, University of Utah
Sam Tobin-Hochstadt / Typed Racket creator
Jessica Kerr / Developer at Outpace Systems
Christine Corbett Moran / Postdoctoral Researcher at Caltech
