GopherCon Europe is the annual European conference for the Go programming language, and we are excited for year 9!

Our goal is to bring together Go developers from all over the world to share their knowledge, experiences, and ideas. We are looking for engaging and informative talks that cover a wide range of topics related to Go programming.


Never been? On our YouTube channel you can find all the talks from the past years.

The conference has 2 talks day, a workshops day, and a community+contributors summit day, alongside HeyAI - the summit for reshaping software with AI.


June 21 is the summer solstice day, and Fête de la Musique day in Berlin, where music is celebrated all over the city. There's no affiliation with the conference.


Some housekeeping notes:

  • While the event is hybrid, all the talks are in-person.
  • We follow the Go Code of Conduct. By joining us, you agree to do the same.
