Snowcode 2027
Ski, code, and argue about tabs in a chalet in the Alps.
A week-long, invitation-only developer un-conference. No stage, no sponsors’ stand, no lanyards — just sixteen to twenty people who are good company on a mountain.

What it is
Not a conference. A week in a chalet with people worth knowing.
Snowcode has run since 2010. Between sixteen and twenty developers, founders, angel investors and assorted hackers share a catered chalet in a French ski resort for a week. Mornings are for the mountain. Afternoons and evenings are for building things, arguing about architecture, and cooking for each other.
There is no call for papers and no speaker list. The un-conference format means the agenda is whatever the group decides it is on the first evening. It is free and not-for-profit — everyone splits the cost of the chalet and the food, and nobody makes a penny from it.
It is small on purpose. Twenty people is the ceiling, which is why entry is by invitation only.
How to get in
Three steps, and one of them is a conversation.
