Scala Days brings developers from around the globe to share their experiences and new ideas around creating applications with Scala and related technologies, like Spark, Kafka, and Akka. Scala Days provides a unique opportunity for Scala users to interact with the contributors to the language and related technologies and connect with fellow developers.
Leaders from Scala User Groups and global communities, students, and language contributors will gather to discuss academic research, use cases, and visionary projects for a two-day, action-packed event.
Enjoy some extra time sightseeing and relaxing by the magnificent Alps.
Scala Days it’s where the future of Scala business takes shape.
Bringing the community together to learn, share, and contribute.
Daycare will be available at the venue. Bring your family along!

Workshops and other co-located events will take place the week of the conference, starting on August 18. Why not seize the opportunity and stay a full week in Lausanne to get the most out of your trip? And maybe even enjoy some extra time sightseeing and relaxing by Lake Geneva (Lac Léman), overlooked by the magnificent Alps?

Assistant Professor at the Informatics Institute of HEVS, co-director of the HES-SO Gen Learning Center and Swiss Cyber Defence Campus Distinguished Post-Doctoral Fellow. Until 2012 was convinced JVM was the best thing to have happened to humanity; wrote and maintained some code since; taught software and ML carpentry, devops, python magic. Since 2020, has been working on the impact of Generative ML on cybersecurity since 2020, and since 2023, specifically on code generation.
EPFL
Dimi Racordon is a researcher at EPFL in Switzerland. She got her Ph.D. in computer science at the University of Geneva, but only because she bribed her jury members with chocolate. She worked on model checking and developed efficient data structures to generate and explore large state spaces. She then studied logics and type systems while trying to find new ways to teach computer science. Dimi likes generic programming, because it looks like math, and low-level programming languages, because she loves wasting time on premature optimization. Since she doesn’t like Haskell’s syntax, loathes JIT optimizers, isn’t good enough to write C++, and thinks she’s too cool for Rust, she decided to focus her research on another programming language for safe, high-level systems programming.

Martin Odersky is a professor at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland. He is best known as the creator of the Scala programming language. Prior to that, he made several contributions to the development of Java. He created the Pizza and GJ languages, designed the original version of generics for Java, and wrote the javac reference compiler. More generally, Martin is interested in programming languages and methods, in particular how object-oriented and functional programming can be made to work seamlessly together. He believes is that the two paradigms are two sides of the same coin and should be unified as much as possible. He was named an ACM fellow for his achievements in this area.
Seth has been active in the Scala community since 2008 in roles including user, contributor, meetup and conference organizer, speaker, podcaster, moderator, and more. He is currently a voting member of the Scala Core Team as “Community Advocate”. He likes compilers, interpreters, functional programming, open source, and clean code.
