GopherCon 2026

GopherCon is an annual conference that began in Denver, Colorado in 2014. It is dedicated to the Go programming language and organized by a community-driven group of developers committed to promoting Go, building an inclusive and supportive community, and advancing the education of Go developers. While other GopherCon events exist globally, this event is the official US-based conference.

The conference features a diverse lineup of speakers, in-depth technical talks, hands-on workshops, and opportunities for networking with fellow Go enthusiasts and experts. Attendees can expect sessions covering core Go development, advanced language features, real-world use cases, tooling, and ecosystem growth. The event also includes Lightning Talks, allowing community members to share projects and ideas in short, impactful presentations.

GopherCon emphasizes inclusivity and accessibility, offering a scholarship program to support underrepresented and financially disadvantaged members of the community. Group ticket discounts and international invitation letters are also available to encourage broader participation. With a strong focus on community and learning, GopherCon is the premier event for anyone passionate about the Go language.
