Celebrating the art, craft, science and joy of software development
On Pause in 2026

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, 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.

On Pause

The Joy of Coding conference will take a pause this in 2026. Instead we will organize two Joy of Coding meetups in collaboration with 010DEV. Meanwhile we will try to find a way to increase conference attendance and its economic sustainability in a manner that fits the spirit of Joy of Coding. We would love to hear your thoughts on this. So, please join us this year for two wonderful Joy of Coding meetups! Oh, and one more thing: during the first meetup, we’ll be handing out our long-lost Joy of Coding octos to everyone who joins us 🐙
