halloween + conference + tech + horror + community
We are super excited to invite YOU to Cursed Code, a mini-conference in true Halloween spirit!
We will share terrifying and nightmare-inducing stories, directly taken from real-life experiences as a software producer in an increasingly dystopian, controlled, and technocratic world. Stories that are sure to intrigue those with an interest in technology, software, and development, presented as a concentrated dose of thoughts and opinions on software production.
The theme is, of course, terrifying, but we are placing a strong focus on the light at the end of the tunnel—happy endings, valuable lessons, and most importantly, how we can shape the future together.
The program is tailored for anyone who has any connection to software. Whether your interest lies in organizational challenges, technical tricks, or business-related problems, we have something for you.
AGICAL, ELECTRONOMICS, HAPPYBITS, SOFTWARE PRODUCTION and SQUEED invites YOU to an evening you won’t forget! Our conference podcaster, Fredrik Björeman from the podcast KODSNACK, will also be joining us. Listen to inspiring talks, gain new perspectives, and meet other Cursed Coders!
In the evening, we will move to Poppels Citybryggeri, conveniently located just a short walk away. And there, we will be welcomed with a drink, followed by the "Poppels Menu" – a three-course dinner including a specially selected drink with each course, as well as a guided tour of the brewery. After dinner, the bar will remain open for those who wish to continue socializing after the official event time has ended.
Celebrate Halloween and explore the darker sides of technology together with other Cursed Coders. This will be an unforgettable event, and we look forward to establishing a new Halloween tradition!
how awesome does this sound!?

We love meeting new, exciting people, making new connections, and gaining new ideas. Hopefully, you do too!
We’ve chosen to have many, and perhaps relatively long, breaks between each talk, specifically to give you time for discussions with us, the crew, our speakers, the other participants, and maybe even to find new friends in the industry! There might also be a short activity popping up.
