2026-03-19 piyopiyo.ex to Host an Introductory AtomVM Session in Nagoya (2026-03-21)

This weekend, the Elixir community piyopiyo.ex will host an in-person AtomVM introductory session in Nagoya.

The event, AtomVM Intro, with a Visit to Toyokuni Jinja, is structured as a practical entry point for developers who want to get started with AtomVM and embedded Elixir.

An introduction to AtomVM

The session is designed to introduce participants to AtomVM in a hands-on setting. According to the published agenda, the program includes an overview of AtomVM together with guided setup work.

That makes the event a useful starting point for developers who are interested in understanding how AtomVM fits into embedded and IoT development.

From setup to first project

Beyond the introduction, the event also includes creating an AtomVM project.

This is an important part of the format: it moves quickly from concepts to a working development environment and an initial project structure, giving participants a concrete way to begin experimenting with AtomVM on their own.

Embedded Elixir in practice

For AtomVM, events like this help lower the barrier to entry for developers exploring Elixir beyond traditional server and web applications.

As more local communities begin to include embedded topics in their learning activities, AtomVM continues to become part of the practical toolkit for running BEAM languages in constrained environments.

Looking ahead

This is a local meetup, but it reflects a broader pattern: interest in embedded Elixir continues to grow, and AtomVM is increasingly part of that conversation.

We look forward to seeing how sessions like this help more developers take their first steps with AtomVM.
