Processing Community Day Amsterdam is a free, afternoon public event bringing together creative coders, digital artists, designers, and developers around the shared language of generative art.
Part workshop. Part mini-conference. Part live performance.
One afternoon of code running live, ideas exchanged openly, and community built face to face — in one of Europe's most vibrant cities for design and technology.
The event is part of the global PCD network, organized around the Processing Foundation: the open-source initiative behind Processing and p5.js, tools used by over one million artists, educators, and students worldwide.
Amsterdam sits at an intersection of technology and visual culture that few cities can match.
The Processing Foundation is nonprofit. PCD events are community-organized, non-commercial, and built on values of openness, inclusion, and craft. Your sponsorship signals alignment with those values, which is, increasingly, exactly what creative talent looks for in a workplace or partner.
