Lambda Days
is this one-of-a-kind experience in the functional world.
12-13 June 2025

For over a decade, Lambda Days has united the worlds of functional programming in academia and industry. This fusion of research and real-world applications continues to spark fresh ideas - no matter your level of expertise.

Whether you're a first-time attendee or a familiar face, we're thrilled to explore the future of functional programming with you!

Join us in beautiful, sunny Krakow to push the boundaries of what’s possible. Dive into battle-tested Scala, Erlang, and Haskell, feel the energy of F# and Elixir, connect with the minds shaping Elm, Luna, and OCaml - and discover what comes next!

DON'T MISS OUT!

Why should you attend Lambda Days? (a.k.a. "why can’t I just watch the talk videos online for free instead…?")

Firstly, the videos will be kept exclusive to the attendees for some time.

But mostly: because of the people! 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!
