what happens in Porto, stays in Porto
The most exciting Scala event is coming back!
#ScalaSwarm 2020
Unorthodox, holistic and genuinely captivating is who we are.
Since the beginning we are true to our goal which is to establish a genuine relationship with each and every attendee. Our aim is to strengthen human ties, empower our common potential and raise awareness.
We pride ourselves as the most people-centric conference and we settle for nothing less.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
Time Freeze
Get you your time’s worth. Days spent here will feel oddly intense but not exhausting.
Meet the Speakers
As a consequence of our “time freeze” everyone has time for everyone. Yes, including high profile speakers.
Know-your-edge Booster
Struggling with advanced concepts? Demystify the veil of elitism and get enlightened by your peers.
OUR SPEAKERS
Call for paper is open until April 1st 2020. Proposals are accepted on a rolling basis so don’t count with dead line.

#ScalaSwarm was AMAZING and allowed me to meet great people from all over the world in a very beautiful city. Thanks @ScalaSwarmConf team!
Back home from @ScalaSwarmConf. Thanks to all the speakers and @DATABIZit for this amazing experience. #ScalaSwarm team was great!
By the looks of it, our team (47 Degrees) at #ScalaSwarm is really enjoying Festa de São João. If you see them on the street...approach with caution.
They certainly didn’t lie that it would be the most amazing conference of the year. #ScalaSwarm
