Brainberg

Software Engineering Events in Zurich

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 Zurich calendar to Software Engineering events. It's a subset of Switzerland's wider tech-event schedule, useful when you want something specific to go to in the city this month.

Zurich sustains one of the most research-dense tech-event calendars in Europe, anchored by ETH Zurich and the broader Swiss research ecosystem. ML-research, systems, and programming-languages communities are particularly strong. This is one of the places in Europe where compiler, distributed-systems, and cryptography research still has a community event presence in the form of guild nights, reading groups, and visiting-speaker series.

September DOTNET Zurich @isolutions

Zurich, 🇨🇭 Switzerland

📅 Wednesday, 23 September 2026
🕔 Doors & reception from 17:00 · Event starts at 17:30 · until approx. 20:00
📍 isolutions AG — The Circle 38, 8058 Zürich
The .NET User Group Zürich is very happy to welcome Szymon Kulec to Zürich as part of a small Swiss .NET user-group tour! 🇨🇭💜
Szymon is a software architect, performance engineer, trainer and speaker who has been working with .NET since its early days. Today he is Lead Developer Advocate at RavenDB, and if you have ever been interested in what happens when you stop treating .NET as “just an application framework” and start pushing the runtime hard, this session is for you.

🎙️ Is it still C#? Practical systems programming with .NET War stories included!

We built a database in .NET and pushed the runtime to its absolute limits.
In this talk, we'll dissect the engineering decisions we made, extracting hard-won lessons you can use to build truly high-performance software.
Expect battle-tested techniques you can apply to any demanding .NET service — even if it's not a database.

During the session, Szymon will take us into some of the less-travelled corners of high-performance .NET, including:

  • JSON and Beyond
  • The Memory Game
  • Taming the State Machine
  • Beyond the Cache Line
  • Vectorize Everything!
  • Surviving the Ecosystem

Expect around 50–60 minutes of deep technical .NET, engineering lessons, performance war stories and plenty to discuss afterwards.

🗓️ Schedule

17:00 — Doors open, arrival & reception
17:30 — Welcome from .NET User Group Zürich
17:35 — Szymon Kulec — Is it still C#? Practical systems programming with .NET
18:40 — Steven Giesel - (Power) Laws in Software Development
~19:20 — Q&A, discussion and networking
~20:00 — Approximate end

🤝 A Swiss .NET community collaboration

There is a nice story behind this meetup.
Szymon's visit has turned into a small tour across the Swiss .NET user groups, with several communities working together to coordinate dates, travel and events.
A huge thank you to Daniel Marbach for initiating the idea and coordinating the tour, and to Urs Enzler, RenĂŠ and our fellow Swiss .NET community organizers for making it possible.
And for the Zürich stop, a particularly big thank you to Cédric Mendelin, Damien Bowden and the whole isolutions team for supporting the community and welcoming us into their Zürich office. ❤️
This kind of collaboration between local communities is exactly what user groups should be about.

📍 Venue

isolutions AG
The Circle 38
8058 ZĂźrich
The office is located at The Circle at ZĂźrich Airport, with excellent train, tram and bus connections.

👋 Who should come?

If you work with .NET or C#, build high-performance services, care about memory and allocations, enjoy digging into runtime behavior, or are simply curious about how a production database pushes .NET to its limits, you should find plenty here to take home.
And, as always, developers of every experience level are welcome.
Come for the .NET internals.
Stay for the war stories and the community. 🙂
See you on September 23!

Hello 50:50 World in Zurich: Feeling Like An Imposter?

Zurich, 🇨🇭 Switzerland

Hello 50:50 World September Meetup with Breakfast

What? Feeling Like An Imposter? Rethinking Self-Doubt in Tech

Who? Vera Thienert, Senior Manager Center of Excellence Health & Engagement, Zalando

Hosted by Hello 50:50 World in collaboration with Zalando Zurich Tech Hub.

Have you ever walked into a meeting and wondered whether everyone else knows more than you do? Questioned whether you really deserve to be in the role you’re in? Or worried that, sooner or later, someone might discover that you’re not as capable as they think?

These experiences are often described as Impostor Syndrome, and they are frequently framed as something individuals need to overcome. But what if there is nothing wrong with those feelings in the first place?

At our September Hello 50:50 World Meetup in Zurich hosted by Zalando, we’ll challenge some of the common myths around Impostor Syndrome together with Vera Thienert, who has worked in Zalando’s People & Organization department for more than 11 years.

Together, we’ll explore questions such as:

  • Why is the term “Impostor Syndrome” misleading?
  • Is impostor thinking really more common among women?
  • What is particular about experiencing impostor thoughts in tech environments?
  • When is the ambition to "overcome impostor thinking" a hindrance to personal and professional growth process?

Come for breakfast, and stay for a conversation that might change how you think about that little voice telling you: “Maybe I don't belong here.”

Venue & agenda

We will meet at the Zalando Zurich Tech Hub located in the Prime Tower ZĂźrich (thank you for hosting us and for providing breakfast!).

09:00 - Arrival & Doors open

09:15 - Lightning Talk

09:25 - Q&A with the Speaker

09:30 - Discussion Rounds

10:00 - Wrap Up & Networking

10:30 - End

You will need to register for the event to be able to enter the Prime Tower office spaces. Please indicate your name & that you're here for the event at the reception.

About Hello 50:50 World

Can we really achieve gender equity and diversity in tech if we stay in our feminist bubbles? Do you believe that we can only achieve more equality when everybody is on board? Then join the conversation on diversity in tech at our Hello 50:50 world meetups.

To participate, you’ll need to bring someone with a different perspective (e.g., gender, nationality, etc.) to ensure balanced participation. Both you and your +1 need to get a ticket so we can better manage attendance.

🛣️👋 ON TOUR - HELLO ZURICH: DASH26 Recap | Deep-dive: memory profiling

Zurich, 🇨🇭 Switzerland

This is Datadog User Group ON TOUR: for the first time, we'll be presenting an event in Switzerland, proudly hosted by TWINT.

---

All talks will be presented in English, to ensure that as many people as possible can participate and engage at this event.

If you want to attend, please RSVP to secure your spot - this will make organizing easier. Thank you so much ♥️

Location: Beethowenstrasse 48, 8002 Zurich, Switzerland
------

🏠 18:00 - Arrival: Networking, Drinks & Snacks (30 min.)
Grab yourself snacks & drinks and say hello to everybody else!

📅 18:30 - Datadog DASH '26 Recap
🎙️Speaker: Tobias Oka, Enterprise Sales Engineer @ Datadog / Marcel Drechsler, Product Owner @ andsafe

This years annual DASH conference from Datadog was almost all about two things: Datadog for AI and AI for Datadog. Expect a comprehensive hour full of the most exciting announcements including demos, where we will also cover topics outside of AI.

☕ 19:30 - Break (15 min.)

📅 19:45 - Where Did My Memory Go? Bringing Native Memory Profiling to OpenTelemetry (30 min.)
🎙️Speaker: Scott Gerring, Senior Technical Advocate @ Datadog

Modern profiling has moved beyond occasional CPU snapshots toward continuously showing how applications use resources. Memory can still be a major blind spot: profilers for languages such as Python or Java often cannot see memory used inside the native libraries they call, while languages without built-in profilers may offer no detail at all. In this talk, we’ll show how, in collaboration with the OpenTelemetry community, we are working on extending the OpenTelemetry eBPF profiler to reveal which code paths are responsible for native memory usage. We’ll follow a memory event through the profiler into Datadog, explore how this information can help diagnose unexplained memory growth, and dive into the engineering challenges of collecting it with low enough overhead for continuous use.

🥗 20:15 - Drinks, Food & Networking
Enjoy refreshments while networking with community peers!

👋 21:00 - Goodbye, see you next time!
