Three tracks

Where senior engineers spend their time.

The 2026 full agenda will be announced soon.
TRACK 01

AI Engineering & Data.

Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot in mature teams. Context engineering, agentic workflows in production, real MCP integrations. RAG at scale, evals that catch regressions, observability for AI systems.
Not "what is a transformer" — what breaks at scale.
TRACK 02

Cloud, DevOps & Platform Engineering.

Internal developer platforms people actually use. GitOps and Kubernetes at fleet scale. OpenTelemetry and eBPF. FinOps owned by engineers. GPU scheduling and AI workload economics. Supply chain security.
Production talks from people running production.
TRACK 03

Software Architecture.

Distributed systems and event-driven, honestly reviewed. Rust, Go, TypeScript, Java/Kotlin in production. Modular monolith vs microservices, the 2026 take. The staff+ engineer playbook.
Migrations that didn't burn the team.
ACROSS ALL TRACKS

Cybersecurity, embedded.

Prompt injection and agent security in Track 1. Zero trust, secrets management, CI/CD supply chain in Track 2. Threat modelling and secure-by-design in Track 3. Plus incident retrospectives from real breaches. No standalone security track — security shows up where engineers meet it.
Practitioners, not pitchmen

You’ve seen them on stage.

Why attend

For people who ship.

01

Senior practitioners. No pitchmen.

We curate from people who run production — not vendor panels or junior content.

02

40–55 min slots. Dense, no fluff.

Every slot is timed to keep signal-to-noise high. You'll leave with notes you use Monday morning.

03

Meet the people who hire.

Every edition brings tech companies with engineering leads on-site — not recruiters reading your CV but the people you'd actually work with.

04

Two formats, one pass.

Day 1 streams to all of CEE. Day 2 is face-to-face in Warsaw — for the conversations that only happen in a room.

I'm still living @code_europe in Warsaw. Why this conference was so unique? Because participants stay until the last talk.

FAQ

General information
01 Where and when does Code Europe 2026 take place?
Code Europe 2026 runs across two days, in two formats:
• Day 1 — 14 September 2026, Online (live stream across CEE)
• Day 2 — 15 September 2026, Warsaw, Stadion Legii
02 When does the event start and end?
Day 1 (Online): the live stream opens at 9:00 AM. The first session starts at 9:30 AM. The last session is scheduled for around 4:00 PM.
Day 2 (Warsaw): on-site registration opens at 8:30 AM. The first session starts at 9:30 AM. The last session ends around 4:00 PM, followed by the official Code Europe Afterparty for all participants, speakers, and partners.
03 Where can I check the speaker line-up?
The 2026 speaker line-up will be announced gradually, in waves, ahead of the event. Until then, you can review past Code Europe speakers on the homepage — they set the standard we hire to. Visit codeeurope.pl/speakers — the page is updated as new 2026 speakers are confirmed.
04 Where can I see the agenda?
The full 2026 agenda will be published one week before the event. Up until then, the page is updated continuously as new speakers and sessions are confirmed. Ticket holders are notified by email at every major update.
05 Will sessions be recorded and available online?
Ticket holders get access to recordings from the 2026 edition plus available recordings from past Code Europe editions, on our platform after logging in.
Tickets
06 Where can I buy tickets?
Tickets are available online at codeeurope.pl/buy-ticket. For group bookings or partner enquiries, contact our team directly.
07 What’s the difference between the Online and Warsaw pass?
Two options: the full Code Europe pass covers both days (Day 1 Online + Day 2 in Warsaw), or the Online-only pass covers just Day 1 — useful if you can’t make it to Warsaw on 15 September.
08 Do I have to register to buy a ticket?
Yes. Registration is quick — a few fields at checkout and your ticket lands in your inbox.
09 How does pricing work?
Tiers run on pools — a fixed number of seats at each price. When a pool sells out, the next tier goes live and we announce it alongside the next milestone (speakers wave, agenda drop, weeks-to-go). Prices climb tier by tier and never come back down.
10 Can I get an invoice for my company?
Yes. You provide VAT details at checkout and the invoice goes to the email address you indicate during registration.
11 Can I buy tickets for my team?
Group tickets start at 5 people, with up to 15% off the current phase price. Email [email protected] and we’ll set up a code with one use per ticket, so each attendee registers themselves.
12 Can I pass my ticket to someone else?
Yes. Tickets are non-refundable but transferable. Email [email protected] with the new attendee’s name by 1 September.
13 Can I buy a single ticket for someone else?
No. Each attendee buys their own ticket and enters their own details at checkout — those details print on the on-site badge. If you want to cover the cost for someone, email [email protected] and we’ll arrange it.
14 How do I receive my ticket and invoice?
Both land in your inbox right after registration, at the email address you provide. For group orders, you’ll be asked for a separate email for the invoice.
15 Is there a student discount?
Yes. A reduced student rate is available throughout the entire sales window — there is no separate “student tier” deadline. A valid student ID is required at registration and on-site.
16 What’s the difference between a student ticket and a regular ticket?
The pass itself is the same — same access, same days, same content. Student rate is reserved for people holding a valid student ID through the event period.
17 Do you offer refunds if I can’t make it?
Tickets are non-refundable but transferable. If you can’t make it, you can pass your spot to someone else at no extra charge — just email [email protected] with the new attendee’s details.
On-site — Warsaw, Day 2
18 How does the lunch voucher work?
During on-site registration you receive a voucher for the day. The food zone offers a range of cuisines — one voucher, one meal at the partner you choose.
19 Can I take photos and recordings during the event?
Photos and short videos — yes. Recording full speaker sessions — no. Many speakers are happy to share their slides afterwards; just ask them in person or via LinkedIn after the talk.
20 Is the venue accessible?
Stadion Legii is wheelchair accessible. If you have specific accessibility, dietary, or other needs, email [email protected] in advance and we’ll arrange it.
Afterparty
21 How do I get in?
Every Code Europe pass includes free entry to the official Afterparty after Day 2 in Warsaw. Your event badge is your entry ticket.
22 Where and when is the Afterparty?
The official 2026 Afterparty starts after the closing session on 15 September, in Warsaw. Venue details are sent by email to all ticket holders before the event. Open bar, DJ set, the people you spent the day with.
Accommodation
23 Do you recommend a hotel?
We’re finalising a partner hotel near Stadion Legii with a discounted rate for Code Europe attendees. Details will be published on this page and sent to ticket holders by email.
