Each year we welcome a sponsor from our industry who funds the Diversity and Inclusion Programme. The programme broadens access to the conference and supports people who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend, with a focus on people new to Erlang, Elixir and Gleam, startups, and those from varied backgrounds. In 2026 our sponsor was AppSignal.

INFORMAL SPACE
The Informal Space was a format at Code BEAM Europe 2026: a third, community-led space alongside the two main tracks for everything that doesn't fit the talk format. Live demos, games you could actually play, hands-on clinics, hacking sessions and slightly larger lightning talks, from a cooperative Elixir shooter and live audio coding to BEAMers Got Talent, a hands-on ELP clinic and a whole-room game of Raft.

CONFERENCE VENUE IN 2026
Lange Begijnestraat 11, 2011 HH Haarlem, The Netherlands
PHIL sits in the heart of Haarlem's old town, surrounded by shops, cafés and restaurants and a few minutes' stroll from the Grote Markt. Haarlem is one of the easiest cities to reach in the Netherlands: it's a direct, ~15-minute train ride from Amsterdam Centraal and around 30 minutes from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.
By train & public transport
Haarlem Centraal station is a 10-minute walk from PHIL, with direct trains from Amsterdam Centraal (~15 min) and Schiphol Airport (~30 min). Plan any train, bus or tram journey with the Dutch journey planner 9292.nl.
By car & parking
You can't drive up to the entrance, so park in one of the nearby public garages and walk the last few minutes:
- De Appelaar — Damstraat 12 — right next to PHIL (~1 min walk). Closest option, but fills up quickly.
- De Kamp — De Witstraat 1 — ~5 min walk.
- Station Haarlem (Interparking) — ~10 min walk. Large, usually has space, and the only garage where you can reserve a spot online in advance.
- Raaks — Zijlvest 45 — ~9 min walk.
- Houtplein — Wagenmakerslaan 1 — ~13 min walk.
By bike
PHIL has no bike racks of its own. Use the free, covered and guarded bike parking on the Smedestraat, about 250 m away.
