Software Engineering Events in Lisbon
This is the widest category on Brainberg, because software engineering itself spans a huge range of events: language user groups (Python, Rust, Go, TypeScript, Kotlin, Elixir, Ruby, Zig), framework communities (React, Svelte, Next.js, Vue, Laravel, Django, NixOS), backend architecture tracks, testing and QA tracks (ISTQB certification courses, mutation testing, test-automation workshops), refactoring and DDD circles, hackathons, and the long tail of "thoughtful engineering" meetups that don't fit neatly under any specific stack.
This page narrows the Lisbon calendar to Software Engineering events. It's a subset of Portugal's wider tech-event schedule, useful when you want something specific to go to in the city this month.
Lisbon's tech-event calendar has grown fast. Web Summit each November anchors the year and pulls an enormous international founder-and-investor crowd into the city. In between, there's a dense week-by-week rhythm of meetups covering AI-applied, software engineering, product, design, and the startup ecosystem that continues to expand with remote-first teams relocating here.

🎤 The Talks1. Read Before You Write: An Intent-First Way to Brief Content Yagmur Simsek, SEO & AI visibility consultant and founder of Search 'n Stuff (London)
Yagmur has over a decade of experience, including roles at Re:signal and Philip Morris International. She shows how to brief content around search intent from the start.
2. Get in, get read, get chosen: how AI search and agents use your content Duarte Harris, GenAI Evangelist and Head of the GenAI Unit at NTT DATA Portugal
More and more people ask ChatGPT, Claude or Google's AI Mode, and a model reads your page for them. Duarte follows one question from prompt to answer in five steps: memory, search, access, reading and choice. He shows where pages win or lose, which popular tactics lack evidence, and what you can do so these systems use your content. There's a live test, so bring your phone. The talk is suitable for all levels.

O que realmente significa liderar na área de QA?
E, quando o dia de trabalho termina, será que conseguimos realmente desligar?
Junte-se a nós para uma noite de novas perspectivas, conversas sinceras e conexões com a comunidade de QA de Lisboa.
Este encontro reúne duas sessões instigantes que vão além do aspecto técnico da qualidade — explorando tanto como os profissionais de QA podem exercer influência no trabalho quanto como podemos abrir espaço para a vida fora dele.
Speaker: Thiago Costa | QA Lead, GBL Tech (Galp)
É preciso ter um cargo de gestĂŁo para ser um lĂder em controle de qualidade?
Com base em mais de 20 anos de experiência em TI, Thiago explorará como os profissionais de controle de qualidade podem influenciar decisões, construir confiança e gerar um impacto significativo sem exercer autoridade formal. Por meio de exemplos práticos e discussões interativas, descubra como a comunicação, a credibilidade técnica e a colaboração podem ajudar a equipe de controle de qualidade a passar da simples identificação de problemas para a formulação ativa de melhores decisões.
Speaker: MairĂ Stumpf | Clinical and Health Psychologist
Fechar o laptop nem sempre significa desligar-se.
Por que Ă© tĂŁo difĂcil se desconectar do trabalho? Como a pressĂŁo para estar sempre produtivo afeta nosso bem-estar e nossa vida pessoal?
Com insights baseados na psicologia empĂrica, MairĂ conduzirá uma conversa sobre hábitos de trabalho, a pressĂŁo para permanecer conectado e o que podemos estar deixando de lado ao tentar manter tudo funcionando.
- Duas sessões envolventes com perspectivas que vão além das práticas cotidianas de controle de qualidade
- Insights práticos sobre influência, colaboração e bem-estar
- Conversas abertas e troca de ideias com outros profissionais de controle de qualidade
- Uma oportunidade de se conectar, aprender e crescer juntos como uma comunidade
Seja vocĂŞ um engenheiro de controle de qualidade, um testador, um lĂder de equipe ou simplesmente alguĂ©m apaixonado por criar formas melhores de trabalhar, há algo aqui para vocĂŞ.
Venha para aprender e fique para as conversas. Estamos ansiosos para ver toda a comunidade de QA de Lisboa reunida!
