About Clojure/conj

Clojure/conj is the original conference for Clojure and its community. Founded in 2010, the conference is the premier place for developers from all around the world to gather and learn about what is happening with the language, in the community, and within organizations using Clojure. Clojure/conj couples a session track with in-depth workshops and learning opportunities, and offers a unique opportunity to mingle with other developers, contributors, and professionals during a dense three-day event.

This year's event will be held in Philadelphia, PA from November 16-18. Last year's Conj, in Washington D.C., was the first to crest 500 attendees. The Conj offers a great mix of experienced Clojurists and new adopters and everyone can find something to suit their need. Because of the growth of the community and the expanding attendance at Clojure/conj and Clojure/west, we expanded to Europe in 2015 with EuroClojure
