Imagine a dark Elixir conference.

What is this?

A small-scale Elixir conference put together for the Elixir programming community by the Underjord team. By Elixir enthusiasts for Elixir enthusiasts. The event will be run by a small not-for-profit we've created. It is located in the seaside town of Varberg, a pretty place with unreasonably good food and a nice walkable city center conveniently accessible by train from Copenhagen or Gothenburg. Influenced by smaller flavorful events like GigCity Elixir, The Big Elixir and EMPEX this will be Sweden's first Elixir conference.

Feat. NervesConf EU!

By the blessing of the great Todd Resudek we will have Europe's very first NervesConf! This is absolutely what GigCity Elixir did in 2024 with one day of brütal NervesConf followed by two days of malicious and delicious Elixir.

Three Days of Glory

Goatmire?

Goatmire is a loose translation of Getakärr. The historical name for Varberg, when it was little more than a few houses. It is still used in certain records. Translating the name Varberg would be far worse and does not make for a useable conference name. Goatmire is the new way to introduce this town to you, our dear international audience. Woo!

Our venue is an old and lovely theatre. It was recently refurbished with enough space to socialize but not enough to get lost. All conferences should have make-up mirrors and dressing rooms for speakers, right? When we offer someone the spotlight it may be quite literal.
