About the Conj

Clojure/conj is the premier event in the Clojure community. A three-day conference in Raleigh, North Carolina, it is the single largest gathering of Clojure language designers, hackers, and application developers.

This is the place to be:

to meet, face-to-face, the people driving Clojure forward
to discover the topics at the forefront of Clojure's design and features
to learn about cutting-edge developments in language design, application development, and computer science
to know the future of Clojure now

Most importantly, it's a good time.

Clojure/conj is human-scaled and community-driven. We've planned it in gratitude to you, the early adopters, craftsmen and craftswomen who have been making Clojure and the Clojure community great.

Sam Aaron

University of Cambridge

Sam Aaron is a researcher, software architect and live programmer with a deep fascination surrounding the notion of programming as a form of communication. His previous work focussed upon the design and implementation of DSLs in order to allow concepts to be communicated and transposed more effectively and efficiently. Currently, Sam leads Improcess, a collaborative research project exploring the combination of powerful sound synthesis techniques with tactile and linguistic user interfaces to build new forms of musical device with a high capacity for improvisation.

Phil Bagwell

Typesafe

Phil started his career as an electronics and then software engineer. For many years he was the European Services Marketing Manager for Digital Equip Co (DEC). For the last few years he has worked with Martin Odersky at EPFL where he has contributed the key data-structures used in both Scala's and Clojure's immutable collections and latterly co-contributor to the new Scala parallel collections.

Chas Emerick

Snowtide

Chas Emerick is a coauthor of the forthcoming Clojure Programming book from O'Reilly, a contributor to Clojure and various open source Clojure software, and has called the Clojure community home for more than three years. One of his ongoing experiments is Clojure Atlas, an interactive visualization of Clojure and its standard library. Chas is the founder of Snowtide, where he works on certain as well as improbable information extraction systems and methods. He writes about Clojure, software development, entrepreneurship, and other passions at cemerick.com.

David Nolen

New York Times

David Nolen is a professional JavaScript programmer currently working for the New York Times. JavaScript brought him to Clojure, and he is happy that ClojureScript will make JavaScript fun again. He is the author of core.logic, a Prolog-like logic engine, and match, an optimizing pattern match compiler - both which explore his fascination with the rich intersection between object oriented, functional, and logic programming paradigms.

Daniel Solano Gómez

Daniel is a long-time Java and C++ programmer who started developing in Clojure about two years ago. Over the past year, he has focused on Android development using alternative JVM languages. He created the Clojure REPL for Android, and is developing Neko, a toolkit to make developing on Android using Clojure easier and more fun. Daniel is currently writing Decaffeinated Android, a book about Android development using languages such as Clojure and Scala. When he has the time he contributes to Clojure and writes about programming on his weblog, Deep Blue Lambda.

Craig Andera

Craig is a recovering C# programmer who focuses on implementing large-scale, web-based systems (preferably in Clojure) and on answering the often difficult questions his two little girls ask him.

Ambrose Bonnaire-Sergeant

University of Western Australia

Ambrose is a Computer Science Undergrad at the University of Western Australia. While his journey is just beginning, Ambrose has found a passion for Function Programming, Logic Programming and Lisp. He is currently nudging the Clojure community to get excited about Logic Programming and its wonderful potential. He has contributed to core.logic and core.match. Follow him at @ambrosebs.

Keming Labs

Kevin visualizes data and makes statistical interfaces on the web.He is the author of the cljs-d3 ClojureScript façade for the D3 JavaScript library, and before Clojure he wrote machine learning and analytics tools in R and Scala. In 2010 he wrote a thesis on protein structure, for which Reed College inexplicably awarded him a physics degree. Kevin lives in Portland, Oregon, and spends as much time rock climbing as he does in the REPL.

Mark McGranaghan

Heroku

Mark is an engineer at Heroku, where he works on the platform infrastructure and Clojure application support. He is the author of a variety of open-source Clojure software including the Ring web application library. Mark graduated from Bowdoin College with a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science.

Arnoldo Jose Muller-Molina

Arnoldo Muller-Molina is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine in Germany where he is using Clojure to better understand the transcription machinery of the human genome. He is the author of some open source projects including the similarity search engine OBSearch. He obtained a PhD in computer science from Kyushu Institute of Technology in Japan. He also coded for Intel during several years.

Stuart Sierra
