Open Registration!

This year ElixirConf™ is offering two days of training, with world class experts, and seven classes to choose from.

You can register for the two day conference, or add one or two days of training to your ticket!
How to Register

To register for a class, choose either a "+1 Day Training" or a "+2 Day Training" ticket. After your ticket purchase, you will be given the ability to select your training class(es).

Classes in rooms B, C, D and E are taught on Day 1 and repeated on Day 2 to help you organize a training schedule that best fits your needs.

Note that each class is a one day class except for the "Embedded Elixir Device Development with Nerves" class, which is a two day course. Registration for "Embedded Elixir Device Development with Nerves" is a separate ticket (not available with a +2 Day Training ticket) due to the class having a $120 hardware fee. Attendees will walk away from this class with a substantial amount of hardware.

Remember to reserve your hotel room!
