Functional

Programming

Conference

For the second year in a row Lambda Days comes to Kraków to bring together people passionate about functional programming. Last year we had the chance to experience first hand the energy and potential of the amazing communities of experts, students, specialists, leaders and innovators willing to invest their time in functional programming languages.

With over 200 attendees, 26 speakers and 2 tracks over 2 days of talks, we got to learn about interesting projects and real-life applications of some of the most inspiring concepts functional programming can offer. It's our goal to help them develop and flourish.

Want to see some of the last years talks? Check Lambda Days 2014 website.

Have you read the reactive manifesto? Well, we did and it inspired us to do things differently this year. We invite you to join ReactDay - a seperate track dedicated to reactive systems.

To all you people in business of making Scala, Erlang, Haskell, F#, Lisp and Clojure great - we're coming back, bigger and better than ever!
