It gives us immense pleasure to announce that JuliaCon 2020 will be held at ISCTE - Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (ISCTE-IUL) in Lisbon, Portugal, from the 27th to the 31st of July. Please mark your calendars, and begin planning your travel.
Our first order of business, as always, is organising funding. If you wish to sponsor the conference, or know someone who does, please get in touch with us at juliacon@julialang.org.
A Call for Proposal will be announced soon.
Hope to see many of you in Lisbon next year. Let us make this, yet again, the best JuliaCon ever!

Now, this one was really a surprise to me. Didn’t know there was a group of Julians in Lisbon big enough to help host such event. I’ll certainly try to go (live only 300 km from there).
Lisbon is an hot city. And I mean temperature too (in July).
Congratulations for the choice of location! Lisbon has amazing culture, history, people, gastronomy, and natural beauty – with a booming startup ecosystem and (relatively) affordable accommodation. (And thanks for the fantastic reason to go back to one of my favourite countries in the world )
I’m so happy! I’m Portuguese, from Coimbra (200 km from Lisbon), but I barely know any other Portuguese person using Julia!
For this one, I shall take holidays at the time and I shall go!
I vacationed in Lisbon with family this summer, and all I can say is “OMG! What a fantastic city!” Beautiful, historic, friendly, and a gastronomic paradise. Nice choice, JuliaCon!
Oh wow. Now I have no excuse not to attend JuliaCon. I live in Braga (~350km from Lisbon) and am very much looking forward to meet other Portuguese Julians and the entire Julia community — hopefully the event will give rise to an active local community!
