The 2026 edition of GopherConf Johannesburg, SA celebrates innovation, performance, and scalability within the Go ecosystem.
Under the theme “Go Beyond – Building the Future with Go”, we invite talks that push the boundaries of what’s possible with Go — from real-world implementations to cutting-edge open-source contributions and enterprise-scale solutions.
