KotlinConf is bringing the Kotlin community together for the fifth time, from May 22 to 24, 2024, at the Bella Center in Copenhagen, Denmark!
KotlinConf’24 will feature one day of workshops followed by two consecutive days of content and networking, including sessions, expo booths, and other fun activities. Secure your tickets, organize your travel, and get ready to come together for the biggest Kotlin event around.
On May 22, 2024, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in one of six expert-led workshops covering some of the most popular Kotlin topics. Seats for each are limited, so register soon if you’d like to attend.
Choose your workshop:
Asynchronous Programming With Kotlin Coroutines by Sebastian Aigner and Roman Elizarov.
Kotlin Multiplatform Beyond the Basics by Garth Gilmour and Pamela Hill.
Functional Programming in Kotlin by Simon Vergauwen and Francisco Diaz Rodriguez.
Hands-On Kotlin Web Development with Ktor by Anton Arhipov, Pasha Finkelshtein and Leonid Stashevsky.
Mastering Kotlin Refactoring – Tools and Techniques by Duncan McGregor and Nat Pryce.
Reactive Spring Boot With Coroutines and Virtual Threads by Urs Peter.
KotlinConf tickets always go fast. The last conference was completely sold out around 4 months in advance, so we recommend getting your tickets now.
The Kotlin 2021 Premier Online Event has started! The next two weeks are going to be full of exciting content. We’ve prepared lots of updates from the Kotlin team, news on the Kotlin ecosystem, and an opportunity to get a glimpse into the future of Kotlin. All of this is in your favorite format – YouTube videos – so stay ahead of the curve from the comfort of your couch!
The Kotlin K2 compiler, which aims to speed up the development of new language features, bring performance improvements, and provide an API for compiler extensions, is in the active development stage. Some parts are already available while others will be available soon!
The Kotlin JVM IR backend is already stable and enabled by default.
For Kotlin/JS, you can opt-in to use the IR backend, which is now in Beta and is going to be stabilized this year.
A preview of the new compiler frontend, which has already shown a 2x faster compilation process in a number of internal projects, will be available in the scope of Kotlin 1.6 and its minor updates.
Soon it will be possible to create modern web applications in Kotlin not only with Kotlin/JS, but also by targeting WebAssembly. A dedicated team at JetBrains is working full-time on bringing the Wasm target for Kotlin into reality by building an entirely new compiler backend.
Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile will go Beta in Spring 2022! That means you can use it in production, and we’ll minimize migration issues for you. KMM in Beta will come with the new memory management approach for Kotlin/Native, Kotlin/Native binary compatibility, stable build tooling, and many other important improvements to help you maximize productivity when writing code and let you focus only on the logic of your app.
This year the Kotlin ecosystem saw record growth. In the last 12 months, more than 250,000 Kotlin repositories were created on GitHub. More and more Kotlin libraries that are being developed by the community are getting multiplatform support. For example Arrow, Koin, and Apollo are now available for multiplatform development.
JetBrains Qodana, a code quality monitoring platform that provides free support for Kotlin projects, is now Stable.
We are introducing Kover – a new Gradle plugin that measures code coverage for Kotlin code built with the Kotlin/JVM compiler. The tool is still in early development, but you can already use it with your code. It works with all language constructs, including inline functions. It can be used locally or on your CI server.

Watch event videos to dive into interesting topics
The Kotlin 2021 Premier Online Event will last for two weeks, during which you will be able to explore the different Kotlin topics by enjoying the dedicated videos.
Take snaps of yourself, apply Kotlin-colored backgrounds, and add stickers with the mascot and code elements in the Kotlin photo booth. Share your photos on Twitter and other social media with the #kotlinevent21 hashtag. Let’s make this event memorable together!
Take quizzes and win a prize
Several event videos will be accompanied by quizzes that can win you Kotlin swag. Subscribe to Kotlin YouTube and don’t miss your chance to win!
Some quizzes are based only on the video content while others may include questions on additional materials linked to videos. Take all the quizzes and get the highest score – each correctly answered question will give you one point.
The top 30 scorers will get cozy Kotlin blankets. For details, check out our quiz rules.
Create materials and get recognized
Kotlin is constantly evolving and we continuously get requests to provide more information on different topics. Let’s create such materials and help the community together! Your contribution is appreciated.
Create materials – articles, videos, and samples – on the topics listed in our rules and share them with us by November 8.
After submitting your materials you will have a chance to win one of ten cozy Kotlin blankets. In addition to the blanket, we may promote your article or video in the official Kotlin channels.
