CALL FOR TALKS


ElixirConf® 2026 in Chicago is a two-track hybrid conference with 25- and 40-minute speaking slots including optional Q&A.

Do you know Elixir and have something to share? Whether you are a core team member or a newcomer to the ecosystem, we'd love to hear from you!
Submit your talk proposal by April 12.

Feel free to surprise us. If you need ideas, these areas have been heavily requested:

Core Phoenix & Application Architecture:
  • Deep dives into Phoenix Contexts and Boundaries, strategies for managing application state using PubSub, Registry, and integrating OTP patterns (GenServers) within the Phoenix structure.
  • High-Performance Phoenix: Talks on optimizing endpoint performance, efficient data serialization, minimizing latency between client and server, and leveraging new BEAM features for speed and reduced latency in I/O bound tasks specifically within a Phoenix application
  • Testing and Maintenance: strategies for Ecto testing, comprehensive LiveView testing patterns, using property-based testing, and ensuring long-term maintainability in large, evolving Phoenix codebases.
  • Advanced LiveView Architectures: Beyond the basics - showcasing large-scale LiveView applications, patterns for complex component design (including new features and Hooks), and techniques for optimizing the browser-server communication layer. We are particularly interested in JavaScript interop best practices and Elixir in the browser (e.g., Hologram, Popcorn), Rust Interop.
AI & Data Landscape
  • Elixir in GenAI & Machine Learning: Practical applications leveraging Nx for scientific computing, integrating AI/ML models directly into BEAM applications, processing real-time data streams for large language models (LLMs), and exploring local AI inference and whisper integration as application features.
  • Data & Streaming Pipelines with Ecto/Oban: Using Broadway, Flow, and Oban.
  • Embedded and Edge Networks: Explore how Elixir, through Nerves and the AtomVM is transforming edge and embedded systems - from IoT devices to real-time data processing at the network's edge. We're looking for talks that showcase innovative architectures, tools, and experiences bringing Elixir's reliability and concurrency to constrained or distributed environments.
Ecosystem, Operations, and Future Trends
  • Real-World Case Studies & ROI: Compelling stories from companies that have successfully scaled with Phoenix, detailing the business value, Return on Investment (ROI), and lessons learned from migrating legacy systems to the Phoenix stack, including use cases for Nerves (IoT, embedded systems).
  • Modern DevOps & Observability: Best practices for deploying Elixir/Phoenix applications in Cloud Native environments (Kubernetes, Nomad), advanced Telemetry and tracing, and innovative tooling for profiling and monitoring in production.
  • Community & Developer Experience: Insights into improving the Elixir Developer Experience (DX), effective team onboarding, fostering open-source contributions, and the future evolution of the language design.
