Fyne Conf is the annual community conference for the Fyne toolkit, the open-source framework for building graphical user interfaces in Go. The 2026 edition runs as a hybrid event in Eindhoven, combining in-person attendance with remote participation for the toolkit's internationally distributed contributor base. GUI development has historically been a weak spot in the Go ecosystem, and Fyne Conf serves the community that has formed around addressing it. The conference draws maintainers, application developers and contributors interested in producing natively compiled, cross-platform desktop and mobile applications from a single Go codebase. The programme is built from full talks of around 25 minutes alongside seven-minute lightning presentations, covering new toolkit features, applications built on Fyne, and best practices for targeting multiple platforms with compiled native binaries. Sponsor-backed speaker travel support lowers the barrier for community contributors to present. For Go developers working on desktop or cross-platform user interfaces, Fyne Conf is the only dedicated gathering of its kind in the ecosystem.
Fyne Conf 2026 takes place September 11, 2026 in Eindhoven, Netherlands.
Fyne Conf 2026 is a hybrid event — you can attend on-site or join remotely.

Fyne Conf brings the Go GUI toolkit's community to Eindhoven in mid-September — the Netherlands' design-and-technology capital, where Philips' industrial legacy became a canvas for the country's most forward-leaning city. Compact, cycling-first and refreshingly unhistoric by Dutch standards, Eindhoven trades canals for creativity: think converted factories, design studios and Europe's brightest light-art scene.
Eindhoven Airport (EIN) — the Netherlands' second — sits 15 minutes from the centre by the frequent 400/401 buses, with budget routes across Europe. From Amsterdam Schiphol, direct intercity trains reach Eindhoven Centraal in about 80 minutes. In town, the OV-fiets rental bikes at the station plus flat, protected lanes make cycling the native mode; everything conference-relevant is within a fifteen-minute pedal.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Kiwitaxi. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on Auto Europe.

EU roaming for Europeans, advance eSIM for the rest — the Dutch standard, with excellent coverage throughout. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
Strijp-S. Philips' former factory campus is now the city's creative engine — design studios, skate halls, food courts and the Klokgebouw's event spaces filling raw industrial volumes. The area's restaurants make it the natural evening quarter, ten minutes from the centre by bike or one train stop.
Van Abbemuseum. One of Europe's most adventurous modern art museums — a serious Lissitzky collection, Kandinsky, Picasso, and programming that treats the collection as an argument rather than an archive. Riverside in the city centre; two hours covers a visit, and Thursday evenings run late. Tickets on Tiqets →
Philips Museum and the Evoluon silhouette. The story of the lightbulb workshop that became a global electronics empire, told in the original 1891 factory downtown — engaging even for those allergic to corporate museums, and very much Eindhoven's origin myth. Pair it with a cycle past the Evoluon's flying-saucer conference dome, the city's retro-futurist icon.
Fly to Eindhoven or Schiphol?
Eindhoven (EIN) if the route exists — 15 minutes to town by bus. Schiphol offers the long-haul network with a direct 80-minute train to Eindhoven Centraal; both work painlessly.
Do I need to rent a bike to fit in?
It helps — the station's OV-fiets scheme rents day bikes cheaply, the lanes are protected everywhere, and Strijp-S plus the centre form an easy triangle. Walking works too; the core is compact.
