Welcome

Declarative Amsterdam is an annual conference focusing on the technologies and methods used for declarative programming and declarative data. The eighth conference will take place on 12 and 13 November 2026, at the Conference center of the Science Park, Amsterdam.

Declarative programming is a style of programming that expresses the logic of computation without describing its control flow. It allows you to focus on the ‘what’ of a program, rather than the ‘how’. Declarative programs can be constructed in a fraction of the time, using much less code than a traditional computer program. Declarative methods for programming and data modelling can help avoid making the mistakes that have lead to failing software projects for several decades.
