Alchemy Conf

Alchemists! 🧙‍♂️ We were very glad to see you all in Braga last week, and now that the team has had about 48 hours to rest, we're back at it again. All the video we made for Alchemy, including the talks, will be made available at our brand new Content Hub. You know what to do.

😊 Thanks so much, Tobi, for the mention. Follow @subvisual.com if you enjoyed #AlchemyConf. The team is always up to something.

Not taking anything away from other events, this one will always have a special place in my heart. While I'm a bit sad it's over, I'm hoping there will be many more editions to come. If another one is announced for the next year, I'll be the first in line for a ticket, and you should be too 😉 🫶

As the dust settles, I want to give huge thanks to everyone who made @alchemyconf.com such a memorable event 🙏 It was filled with a lot of character, spirit, laughs, and, last but not least, great talks.

This is the first and only tweet we've been tagged on that includes negative feedback. For the sake of transparency, we've decided to share it anyway.

#AlchemyConf retrospective alert. Thank you @zachdaniel.dev, this is gorgeous 🙏

This picture of me live coding looks serious until you read it and see that it's literally the output of `mix new` lol. Looks like something someone would run just before their boss looks over their shoulder to provide they were working 😂. It got a *bit* more advanced as we went along 😂 #ElixirLang

What a beautiful conference venue #AlchemyConf has chosen here in Braga, Portugal!

I had an absolutely wonderful time at #AlchemyConf meeting old #ElixirLang friends—and meeting plenty of new ones. Great talks and conversations, and the location certainly didn’t hurt, either! Off I go to Porto, then Matosinhos. (I just had to stay a bit longer.) Obrigado!

#alchemyconf is over 😭 Somebody please turn back the time and make it happen again. It was that great. Thanks to everyone for making it so memorable ❤️

If you lovely people keep this up, we will collectively blush.

Had an awesome time at @alchemyconf.com ! Really a great great community run conference! Today I got up at 6:25 to make the trip to A Coruña and give a guest lecture at the university on architecture + more! Had a great time, but a lot! Now chilling with @pablocostass.bsky.social & company!

Our team had a blast at @alchemyconf.com this week where they attended insightful talks on all things Elixir and got to connect with the community members who stopped by our stand.

AlchemyConf is over. Fantastic conference, I can't recommend it enough. The organization did an outstanding job!! Here are the slides from my closing talk: speakerdeck.com/whatyouhide/... Thanks everyone 🫎

As we're enjoying the last hours of #AlchemyConf, we'd like to write one final thankful post. To the team that made this possible, all the speakers, attendees, our wonderful MC, everyone at the most beautiful venue in the world, Theatro Circo, we love you all. Keep it weird 🧙‍♂️

One last huge thank you to @whatyouhi.de and Aaron Cruz for the final two talks of the conference. We will not forget these last few days. Alchemists, stay tuned, because we'll have some goodies for you in the next few days. #ElixirLang #MyElixirStatus

And the last talk of the conference by @whatyouhi.de about his dog … and some other stuff (I think :gen_system was involved) And that’s a wrap! What a great conference! Thanks to everyone at @alchemyconf.com for organizing this wonderful event and to the speakers for sharing their knowledge ❤️❤️❤️

The charming assistant has asked us to remind everyone: cards will be available at the checkout booth, right by the exit.

Thank you so much to everyone who made their Alchemy Card with our wizard and his charming assistant. Our mystical printers are working overtime, so please make sure you get yours from our team before the end of #AlchemyConf!

Our appreciation to @zachdaniel.dev, who not only delivered a great workshop a couple of days ago but also brought his A game to his talk. #AshFramework couldn't ask for a finer evangelist.

Just a couple more talks to go before the closing of #AlchemyConf, and we'd just like to say the team is delighted with the feedback we're getting from speakers and attendees. This is a labour of love for us, and we're genuinely happy everyone is having a good time. Thank you 🙏

We have seen some magnificent talks already today, one of them by Christoph Beck, with one of the most productive use-cases for AI we've seen in a little while. Thank you, Christoph, for sharing, and for your sense of humour. #AlchemyConf #ElixirLang #MyElixirStatus

A word (more than a word, quite a few words) of appreciation to @erlangsolutions.bsky.social for their embrace of #AlchemyConf. Your kindness and excellence throughout the event have not gone unnoticed. Make sure to visit their booth if you haven't already. #ElixirLang #MyElixirStatus

Crowd favourite @pragtob.bsky.social delivered a wonderful talk yesterday, relating software development to Luka Doncic and Brandon Sanderson, much to our delight. Admin is a former basketball player and literature student, so much appreciated, Tobi. #AlchemyConf #ElixirLang #MyElixirStatus

Incredible work by Julia Mathias to deliver an excellent talk despite a slight mishap with the projection. We'd also like to salute @crowdhailer.bsky.social for his impeccable technical support skills. #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork #AlchemyConf #ElixirLang #MyElixirStatus

As we take a quick break for lunch, don't forget: doors will reopen at 14:30, so we can all be ready for @zachdaniel.dev's unmissable talk half an hour later. #AlchemyConf

The theatre is over a hundred years old, so we are blaming ghosts for all technical issues.

It’s incredible to hear how #ElixirLang impacts the world for good from Julia Mathias and Turn.io - using chats for mental health, WHO, refugees and more! @alchemyconf.com

Massive shoutout to our friends of Marmela for sponsoring the delicious coffee break everyone just enjoyed. The food was amazing, and partnering with them was even better. Check them out here 👇 marmelasoft.com

As the morning progresses, we can't help but think back to @sasajuric.bsky.social's Tell Me a Story conference yesterday. It was one of the most memorable our team have ever seen. We can't wait to share some highlights with you. #AlchemyConf #ElixirLang #MyElixirStatus

Day 2 of @alchemyconf.com - Here we go! #elixir #erlang #theatrocirco #braga

Alchemists, hear ye, hear ye 🧙‍♂️ Don't forget we have compiled a handy guide to Braga, with restaurants, spots to hang out, lovely working resources, etc for everyone to enjoy. Check it here 👇 subvisual.notion.site/practical-gu...

The coffee break is coming up, and you absolutely should make an #alchemyconf friendship bracelet at the @subvisual.com booth. Just a suggestion. No pressure.

Day two is live!

As we're about to take the stage for day two of #AlchemyConf, how good was @hugobarauna.com yesterday? Amazing delivery, lots to learn about @livebook.dev.

Good morning, #AlchemyConf! 🧙‍♂️ Doors open in five minutes for day two of the conference. We hope you're ready, because we know we are.

Immense shoutout to Remote, who brought their beautiful booth to #AlchemyConf and is partnering with us throughout. It's always a pleasure to work with this team. #ElixirLang #MyElixirStatus

End of day @alchemyconf.com with the one and only @sasajuric.bsky.social making everyone wiser and better. #ElixirLang

We were delighted to hear from André Albuquerque about how to build such a fascinating monolith with Elixir. Congrats to André and the entire Remote team, what incredible work. #ElixirLang #MyElixirStatus

We challenge you to listen to these five and come away with anything other than a strong conviction that Elixir adoption is inevitable. #ElixirLang #MyElixirStatus #AlchemyConf

Doors are open for the first afternoon of #AlchemyConf! We begin with our roundtable, and right after it's done don't forget to check out the Alchemy Booth, where our highly trained magicians will be creating something special for you to take home* *probably not a curse.
