A decade ago, a simple but powerful idea took shape: bring young people and technology together, spark curiosity, and show that coding is for everyone. That idea became Meet and Code — and ten editions later, it's still going strong.

Now, as we look ahead to the 10th edition of Meet and Code, we find ourselves reflecting on just how far this journey has come. From local events in community centres to a movement that has reached thousands of young people across Europe, Meet and Code has always been about more than technology. It's been about people — the organisers who dedicate their time, the young participants who discover something new about themselves, and the communities that grow around a shared belief in the power of digital skills.
Ten editions is a milestone worth celebrating. But more than a celebration, it's a moment to look forward.
Something special is coming
We're not ready to reveal everything just yet — but we can tell you this: the 10th edition of Meet and Code is shaping up to be the most exciting one yet. And it's not just the anniversary that makes it special. As technology evolves, so does our programme — and this edition, we're placing a stronger focus on responsible AI use. We believe that equipping young people with the skills to understand, question, and use AI thoughtfully is one of the most important things we can do right now. The future belongs to those who don't just use technology, but understand it.
We've been working on new ideas, fresh formats, and meaningful opportunities built around this vision. Whether you've been part of the Meet and Code community from the very beginning or are just discovering us now, there will be a place for you in what's coming.
