These conferences draw all levels of the technological business community – from owners and senior technical officers to developers and programmers. Previous delegates have been drawn from large corporations who are looking to Erlang to provide the capability to move into new products and services as well as individual consultants including Erlang in their list of competencies.

We are expecting 200-250 delegates from all over the world to be attending each of the Erlang Factory Conferences. In 2011 the origins of the delegates were:

The Erlang Factory brings together speakers from all sides of Erlang. There are wide-ranging talks both from the “old-guard” who have been involved with Erlang since its inception - such as Joe Armstrong and Robert Virding - and the increasing number of developers who are using the strengths of Erlang to develop powerful applications and tools, such as Eugene Letuchy from Facebook and Damien Katz – the inventor of CouchDB.

The Erlang Factory also includes talks on other functional languages such as Ruby and Haskell with Ezra Zygmuntowicz from EngineYard and Simon Peyton-Jones from Microsoft Research having spoken in 2009.
