On the wind-whipped, rain-beaten shores of Sweden's west coast we took a stand. As the respite of summer fades back into the wet, cold misery and on into the snow-forlorn winter of this miserable coast we saw a moment. The summer crowds scattered. The sun not quite gone yet. And we seized it.
A gathering unlike anything the Elixir community had ever seen before. It was not the size. There have been many much bigger. It was not the legendary cast, although there were legends. Still we have seen more impressive line-ups. It was the people, the intent, the willingness to engage. A hopeful promise of something unusual was made. The people responded in kind. A pact was formed. A different event. And with that it became what it was.
We return to Varbergs Teater. We return again, a small event. Our hope is to once more offer an earnest promise to do something different. Our hope is to see you all again.

28-29th of September are workshop days. These are held at Campus Varberg and will be free of charge. We'll require registration as space, seats and other factors may limit the size of each thing. These will be community hack sessions, workshops, lectures and trainings. Two 4-hour sessions each day. Many of the hosts for these sessions will be familiar faces. Luminaries. Prior Goatmire speakers. Knowledgeable Elixir developers from across the ecosystem and other special guests. A time for learning, socializing and breaking the ice with hands on keyboards.
30th of September to 2nd of October is the conference. If you have a ticket you are welcome to attend. Tickets are typically bought. There will also be a few other ways. The ticket sale will be announced later. The conference is three days the first of which is focused on Nerves and should be considered NervesConf EU. You should not skip this if you do Elixir. Typically the NervesConf talks are some of the most technically in-depth talks you can find.
3rd of October. Nothing is confirmed yet. But let's just say that last year the first ever Ash Summit happened on this lil' extra day. There might be stuff that you don't want to miss.

We will make room for some more people. We believe that we can fill the theater further without making things unwieldy. The workshops will be the biggest change.
Where the heart finds room, so does the rear.
The Call for Talks will be announced in the near future.
