Diversity & Inclusion

ScalaDays provides a space for the wider Scala Community to meet, come together, and discuss the latest developements in the ecosystem. We believe we can do this best by ensuring that people taking part are valued, respected, accepted and encouraged to fully participate.

Children at ScalaDays

You can bring your child under 16 free of charge. We will provide baby-changing facilities. Please note that we don’t offer childcare, but you can bring an additional adult accompanying the child free of charge. This person will not have access to the event program. 

You can purchase a ticket for your child in the main ticket shop.

Diversity Tickets

In order to promote this diversity at ScalaDays, we have initiated a diversity ticket program. Tickets can be added through partnerships and Diversity Fund Contributions.

What is Diversity Ticket?

Diversity Tickets are fully sponsored (i.e. free) tickets that are available to people from underrepresented groups within the Scala community. This includes, but is not limited to: women, people of colour, LGBTQIA people, disabled people, and people facing economic or social hardships.

If you would like a diversity ticket, please select it from the ticket shop on this page. As organizers, we will provide an intial batch of diversity tickets, with additional tickets being provided through partners and Diversity Fund Contributions. If you have any questions about eligibility for Diversity tickets, please feel free to email Paul at info@scaladays.org

How can I get a Diversity Ticket?

You can get a Diversity Ticket by registering through the ticket shop at the bottom of this page.

What types of Diversity Tickets are available?

Currently, we have one kind of Diversity Ticket available:

Diversity Onsite Ticket: This ticket provides access to our onsite conference and our venue, Kulturbrauerei. Get this ticket if you want to attend ScalaDays in Berlin.

What is a Diversity Fund Contribution?

When you buy a Diversity Fund Contribution in our ticket shop, the proceeds are put in a pool to pay for Diversity Tickets. Diversity Fund Contributions let you use your resources to support someone who might otherwise be unable to attend. You can purchase a Diversity Fund Contribution in addition to your ticket through the main ticket shop.

How can I support the Diversity Ticket program?

If you work for a company that would like to support our Diversity Tickets program we would love to hear from you. All of the supporters of the Diversity Tickets program will get their logos on this page as a thank you. Please send an email to Paul at info@scaladays.org to discuss supporting this program.
