Functional
conf 2025
Asia's Premier Functional Programming Conference
24-25 January | Online
As part of the Students & Diversity program, Erlang Ecosystem Foundation is sponsoring 50 free tickets for students and people from under-represented groups.
THE
Conference
Functional Conf is designed to bring together the growing community of functional programmers under one roof.
Functional programming (FP) has been a hot research topic for over three decades now. However, in the last ten years, driven by the need to build massively concurrent systems and to handle big-data in smarter ways, diverse companies - ranging from tech start-ups to financial institutes - are rapidly adopting FP concepts.
Currently, FP is at the heart of every new generation programming technology. Companies are employing FP to actuate more effective, robust, and flexible software development. This has given birth to an extremely vibrant community of functional programmers, who are constantly exploring new and varied ways to bring in FP concepts to the enterprise software development world.

testimonials
#FnConf19 is one of the most eager and open places I've spoken at. Everyone is there to learn, to find out new things, and to explore. They are also unfailingly hospitable and friendly. It's great to see India diving into innovation.
Aaron Hsu
Researcher - Dyalog, Ltd.
It's a very good place to be if you want to discuss software and building it in a functional programming way. And people who are still doubtful about whether the world is ready for more software written using functional programming, they should come here to see how others are using it at scale in production.
Athira Mukundan
Product Engineer @ Gojek
I've attended Functional Conf many times. Bangalore has an incredible number of great engineers that are very eager to learn about functional programming. The speakers come from all over the world and it's an awesome opportunity to meet them. (2019)
Brian McKenna
Principal Engineer @ Atlassian
A grand finale to an insightful, inspiring conference. The #FnConf19 panel discussion saw speakers taking on hard Q's on functional programming, industry and dev community adoption, learnings yet to be adopted and more!
Gunjan Juyal
Staff Software Engineer @ Google
Lens workshop by Edward Kmett and Tony Morris was an experience out of this world listening from the Gods themselves #FnConf19.
Kaushik Chakraborty
Sr. Architect @ Cognizant Tech Solutions
Very lively conversations and discussions, with people who knew their stuff and others who were there to learn a lot. I think I came out with a lot of new ideas to tinker with - that's the best part!

There are a lot of smart people at this
conference who care a lot about writing code and doing it well. It's not really about the tools, it's not really about the technology. It's about the ideas, principles and practices, it's about the practitioners.

Very impressed with #FnConf19 and its attendees, learned a lot talking today, and the venue, the organizers, everything really, is absolutely outstanding, thanks for having me and spreading the F# love!
Adam Granicz
CEO @ IntelliFactory
It's not purely academic, it's not purely theoretical, it's not purely industry. It's just a nice place for everyone, just learning and figuring things out.
