DConf 2026 in London

DConf 2026 will take place in London from September 2 to 4, bringing together D programming language developers and experts worldwide through both in-person and livestream sessions.

September 2 – 4, 2026

Symmetry Investments and the D Language Foundation want you to join us in London September 2 – 4 for the 2026 edition of the D Programming Language Conference. Together with our friends at Brightspace Events and CodeNode, we're working to bring you three days of fun, insightful conversations, and educational talks.

Can't be there in person? No problem! Join our livestreams and ask questions of the speakers at any time during each session. Find the links right here a week before kick off.

Since 2013, DConf has been the primary annual event bringing together D programming language enthusiasts and experts from across the globe for the rare opportunity to mingle offline in the real world. We enjoy interacting with each other online, but there's no substitute for the chance to share ideas face-to-face between conference talks, over dinner, or in a local pub.

If you're worried about the airfare or flight cancellations right now, our event planners have compiled links to information sources that should reassure you can book travel to the UK without worry, though it's better to book sooner rather than later to avoid higher prices.

Whether you’re a seasoned DConf veteran or joining us for the first time, we can’t wait to welcome you to London!

Important Dates

Submission Deadline: May 24
