Celebrating

Software development

Joy of Coding is a one-day single-track conference held in Rotterdam. We bring internationally renowned speakers to Rotterdam to deliver talks. They cover diverse aspects of the craft, reflecting recent trends in industry and academia, as well as a serious amount of joy.

It's affordable

Joy of Coding is a non-profit event. With the help of our sponsors we keep registration fees low to provide the best value-for-money conference of 2025, just like our previous editions!

It's by dev, for devs

Joy of Coding is organised by a bunch of developers. There is no commercial agenda, the schedule is purely based on stuff that developers, like us, love to see. Expert speakers but no talking heads. A place where we can all get together and talk about code.
Venue: De Doelen

Venue

Joy of Coding 2025 will take place in De Doelen, a concert venue and convention center in Rotterdam. Although mainly known as a venue for classical music and jazz, it is also a superb conference location. The monumental building is located right in front of the Rotterdam Centraal train station.
