About GopherCon Europe As Go’s popularity soared, GopherCon went global and GopherCon Europe (GCEU) kicked off its inaugural conference in 2018 in Reykjavik, Iceland. After that, GCEU had plans to rotate the conference every year in different countries and in 2019 the conference was held in Tenerife, Spain. However, due to the impact of COVID-19 it became important to transition the conference to an online format. From that point on, Berlin has served as the primary base for the conference hosting both the online and in-person events.
