A two-day data engineering and Big Data conference in the Malaga area for developers, DevOps engineers, and data scientists, covering distributed systems, stream processing, machine learning, AI architectures, and microservices, co-located with Lambda World and Wey Wey Web.
J On The Beach (JOTB) is an annual conference in the Malaga area of Spain focused on data engineering, Big Data architectures, and related developer disciplines. The 2026 edition runs at Palacio de Congresos de Torremolinos, which is in Torremolinos within the Malaga province, and is co-located with Lambda World (a functional programming conference) and Wey Wey Web (a web development conference). Tickets are sold via tickettailor.com. The CFP for the 2026 edition has closed.
Yay-Yay Events organises J On The Beach, Lambda World, and Wey Wey Web as a co-located cluster in Torremolinos, creating a combined attendance pool across data engineering, functional programming, and web development communities. This allows attendees to access content from multiple events with a single venue visit and potentially cross-attend sessions.
Both events are organised by Yay-Yay Events and co-located at Palacio de Congresos de Torremolinos during the same period. Lambda World focuses on functional programming (Scala, Haskell, Clojure, and related). J On The Beach focuses on data engineering. Attendees can potentially cross-attend sessions from both events.
The venue, Palacio de Congresos de Torremolinos, is in Torremolinos, a municipality within the Malaga province on the Costa del Sol. It is not in Malaga city centre. The database lists the city as Malaga for geographic classification purposes.
Yes. The CFP for the 2026 edition has closed. The programme will be published on the official website.
Attendees seeking business AI strategy content, non-technical AI governance discussions, or product management sessions will find this event misaligned. It is not designed for those without a technical background in data systems. Pure front-end developers and mobile engineers will find limited relevant content.
Palacio de Congresos de Torremolinos is a conference centre on the Costa del Sol, in Torremolinos, approximately 12 km west of Malaga city centre. It is served by the Cercanias commuter rail C-1 line (Torremolinos station, approximately 5 minutes' walk from the centre of town). Malaga Airport (AGP) is approximately 5 km east of Torremolinos and is on the same C-1 rail line.

J On The Beach occupies a specific and underserved position: a practitioner data engineering conference in southern Spain with co-located functional programming and web content -- the Torremolinos cluster model makes it the most efficient multi-domain developer event in the Spanish autumn calendar.
