Data and platform engineering topics gather technical leaders on the Andalusian coast at the end of October. J On The Beach 2026 takes place from 29 to 30 October 2026 in Malaga and pairs focused technical content with community-driven sessions.
Dates and venue for J On The Beach 2026
The conference runs on 29 and 30 October 2026 in a hybrid format with in-person and online attendance. The in-person sessions are held at the Palacio de Congresos de Torremolinos, Malaga according to event information. The program is structured as three conferences across two days with workshops and community moments.
Core topics and event format
Announced tracks cover concrete areas across data and platform engineering. Key strands include AI and agentic systems, data engineering and databases, distributed systems, platform engineering and reliability, DevSecOps and data science. The line-up mixes talks with hands-on workshops and community sessions aimed at practitioners.
Speakers and adjacent events
Confirmed speaker names in the event material include Erik Meijer, Valentina D’Efilippo, Jamie Allen and Natacha Crooks. J On The Beach 2026 runs alongside a functional programming experience and a UI-focused conference, creating a dense technical ecosystem during the two days.
Preparing B2B outreach at the conference
A tight plan reduces wasted time over a compact schedule. Target contacts by role and technical challenge, for example platform engineers, data infrastructure teams and reliability leads. Map sessions and workshops that match your value proposition and prepare short demos or technical proof points that can be shown in under three minutes.
Practical steps
- Set three to five meeting goals per day and keep calendar slots available for quick scheduling.
- Craft a 90 second technical pitch and a 30 second business summary of your solution.
- Share follow-up materials that enable technical validation, such as links to repos, case studies or trial offers.
These measures help convert technical conversations into qualified leads without relying on casual encounters.
Audience and community dynamics
The triple-track setup brings together engineers, data scientists and platform teams. Workshops and social events increase opportunities for one-on-one meetings, while the hybrid format lets remote attendees participate and follow up with contacts after the event.
Final note and official link
The event site lists past editions including years from 2016 through 2025, and details on tickets and sponsorship are available online. If your aim is to secure technical prospects or validate a platform proposal, block meetings around data engineering and reliability sessions.
