Kraków | Poland
For nearly a decade, Lambda Days has brought the functional programming worlds of academia and industry together. The collision of practical application and research has offered an exciting fresh approach, regardless of your level of expertise. This year, we’re celebrating our 10th anniversary and we want to make it special.
Whether you’re new to Lambda Days or you are one of the many friendly faces we see regularly at our events, we look forward to celebrating with you.
Come to beautiful, sunny Krakow for Lambda Days to find out what is possible with functional programming - explore the latest in battle-tested Scala, Erlang and Haskell, experience the energy that F# and Elixir bring to the table, connect with the innovators working with Elm, Luna and Ocaml and see what will come next!
Some of the highlights this year:
- Verse is the new programming language, designed at Epic Games as language of the metaverse. Simon Peyton Jones and Tim Sweeney will give us a sense of what it is, and what functional logic programming is about with their Keynote talk.
- If you would like to learn a new approach to programming and delivering distributed systems, don't miss the presentation about Unison, which introduces a new perspective by combining effect systems and abilities.
- Building a system is only the first step to its success, the next one is making sure it will stay alive. Concurrency and the actor model can help with load testing a system and making sure the SLAs are met.
- Grasp how to make a safe and stable continuous deployment pipeline with highly distributed and stateful services - a battle story and lessons learnt talk.
- Local-first software is getting more and more traction. Get to know more about it and see how functional programming helps with this new paradigm in a talk on ElectricSQL.
- Functional programming can be seen in so many areas of the IT space. If you ever wondered how FP can be used with Postgres, now you can learn about TimescaleDB and how it helps build functional pipelines.
- Interested in Blockchain? Watch a case study from which we will learn what helped build a successful, real-time and distributed blockchain network in Haskell that helped save millions of dollars of wasted effort.

CALL FOR TALKS
Are you interested in presenting your thoughts on the subject of functional programming? Submit your presentation!
As of now we have identified the followig areas our audience would love to hear about:
- Functional languages
- Type Theory
- Testing & Verification
- Software and system design
- Reactive Programming
- Web programming
- Computation in functional technologies
- Applications and case studies
Is your presentation slightly outside that scope? Amaze and inspire us with your submission!
We’re happy to support candidates from under-represented groups in the software development community.
If you have not spoken at conferences before or need help in preparing, our programme committee members are happy to mentor and assist you with their feedback in the planning and delivery stages of your talk.
We’re also accepting talks for our Research Track - share your theoretical work with a large, diverse audience of scholars and practitioners. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to have your paper published in Computer Science (indexed in ESCI WoS and SCOPUS) journal. Just mark the correct field on the form to let us know if you are interested in having your work submitted for the journal.
The first round of reviews will take place in December. The second round in January can be cancelled if we receive enough submissions in the first round.

DON'T MISS OUT!
Why should you attend Lambda Days 2023? (a.k.a. "why can’t I just watch the talk videos online for free instead…?")
Firstly, not all the videos will be published right after the conference and will be kept exclusive to the attendees for a couple months.
The greatest asset of any conference is the community behind it. The Lambda Days crowd is inquisitive, open-minded, friendly and known to motivate each other to learn and innovate.
They ask the right questions, recommend the best talks, point to concepts to explore, inspire and challenge preconceptions at every turn.
Want to make the most of the content our speakers prepare? Experience it live with a crowd of people as excited about it as you are!
