Starttech Hosts the First Greece |> Elixir Meetup in Athens
On Friday, May 16, Starttech opens its doors to welcome the first-ever Greece |> Elixir Meetup — a brand-new initiative aiming to bring together developers who use or want to explore the Elixir programming language.
This event marks the beginning of a local community focused on Elixir, a functional and concurrent programming language that’s been gaining global attention for its power, scalability, and developer-friendly syntax. Whether you’re already building with Elixir or just curious about what makes it unique, this meetup offers the perfect chance to connect, learn, and share ideas.
📍 Where: Starttech HQ, Athens
🕒 When: From 18:00 onwards
What to Expect
The evening will feature a series of short, high-impact talks by experienced Elixir developers:
- Why Greece |> Elixir, by Petros Amoiridis
- From Snakes to Alchemy, by Isaak Tsalicoglou
- How Elixir Won Me Over, by Thanasis Karetsos
- Plus: Lightning Talks and Networking with Food & Drinks
Each speaker brings a personal story about how Elixir changed their development approach — from Python transitions to real-world Phoenix applications. The meetup is not just about tech, but about building a community of like-minded people in Greece who believe in clean code, distributed systems, and the power of open source.
