Strange Loop was a labor of love from 2009-2023 - thanks to everyone that spoke, attended, or watched our videos online. While our conference has ended, the friendships remain!

gave the Strange Loop 2011 keynote "Simple Made Easy". We are pleased to release today a NEW edit of that talk made from the original HD video and slides. Enjoy!
Strange Loop 2023 (Sep 21-22) will be the last edition of Strange Loop! We hope you can join us for one last conference. Early bird tickets are available now.
It is with great regret that we have decided to cancel Strange Loop 2020. We are still looking at what an online version could be. We will miss seeing you this year!
Today was supposed to be the beginning of Strange Loop 2020 and we miss you all. :( We intend to be back next year Sep 30-Oct 2, 2021, even if things look a bit different.
Strange Loop 2022 will include an embedded mini conference "It Will Never Work in Theory" featuring software engineering research lightning talks! Check out the great list of talks:
New Strange Loop stickers just showed up at the door! This will also be on the attendee shirts. If you can't wait till then, merch is also available at
Finally got around to doing the math, and I think Strange Loop attendance was about 25% women-identifying this year (based on names so just approx). It is great to see many years of hard work paying off in this area.
Strange Loop will return in 2021 though!! Preconf Sep 30, conference Oct 1-2. It will probably be a little different as we react to whatever 2021 brings us it's ON.
