Software Engineering Events in Stockholm
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 Stockholm calendar to Software Engineering events. It's a subset of Sweden's wider tech-event schedule, useful when you want something specific to go to in the city this month.
Stockholm has one of Europe's strongest product, fintech, and games-industry event calendars. The city's concentration of consumer-facing scaleups (Klarna, Spotify, iZettle, King, Mojang) shows up in unusually strong product-management, growth, and data-product event content. Events that in other cities would be engineering-focused tilt toward product experimentation and metric-driven design here.

Talk Abstracts
10 Million Transactions, Zero Locks: Delivering High-Fidelity Business Analytics with ClojureâHakan Cinar
In the modern data landscape, the bottleneck is rarely the library, but the language's ability to utilize hardware. While Python is the de facto standard for data exploration via C-extensions like Polars, it often hits a "performance ceiling" when business logic requires custom, multi-core transformations. This presentation demonstrates a comparative benchmark of Market Basket Analysis on 10 million retail transactions across 25 categories and 850,000 distinct customers.
We analyse the architectural trade-offs between Pythonâs imperative, object-heavy approach and Clojureâs functional, immutable-by-default paradigm. By visualizing a real-time Association Web and tracking CPU/RAM utilization, we show how Clojureâs structural sharing and JVM-native concurrency provide a more robust foundation for production-grade data pipelines. Attendees will see first-hand how Clojure eliminates the "GIL tax" and transforms massive datasets into actionable insights with lower memory overhead and greater systemic reliability.
Convincing Friends and Foes: Introducing Clojure at Large and Small OrganisationsâBilly J. Beltran
Are you struggling with spreading the gospel at your company? Can't convince your co-workers that '(1 2 3 4) is actually a very reasonable way of describing a sequence of things? I will explain how and why people sometimes react negatively to new technologies,
and how to convince them Clojure is actually a programmer's best friend with examples from small and large organisations.
Food Beverages and light food will be served. You will be asked about your dietary preferences when you sign up, and we'll do our best to accommodate everyone.

OpenClaw Lab Meetup
Stockholm, đžđȘ Sweden
đ If you want to be considered for this first session, you need to sign up here within the next 48 hours: https://openclawlabsthlm.lovable.app
Everywhere I look â YouTube, Instagram, itâs OpenClaw, AI agents, automation⊠and honestly, itâs stressing me out a little đ
I donât have time to sit alone for hours trying to figure all of this out. So instead, I want to pull together a small group of curious, driven people who feel the same way.
The idea is simple: we meet up, combine our brains, test things live, set up a few agents, and actually learn by doing. No fluff, no endless theory, just hands-on building and figuring it out together.
This isnât meant to become a big community or a long-term thing. Think of it more like a startup group, a small crew of people willing to contribute, do their share of the research, and help each other get up and running fast.
Once we are on our feet⊠we might shut this group down.
If youâve been feeling like âeveryoneâs talking about OpenClaw and I donât want to be left behindâ â youâre exactly who this is for.
