+# Typelevel Traverses Europe
+
+I am excited to announce **three upcoming, in-person meetups** across Europe this October! These events are a wonderful opportunity to **connect with other functional programming enthusiasts in a safe, supportive space**. We welcome current and aspiring Typelevel users, contributors, and anyone curious to learn more about functional programming, no matter your prior experience. We will follow the [Typelevel Code of Conduct][coc].
+
+**Participating is free for everyone** and space is limited, so please register early! Our mission to do functional programming together is possible thanks to our [sponsors]. Please consider supporting the Typelevel Foundation with a [recurring donation][donate] to help keep our community thriving.
+
+## Berlin on Wednesday 14 October
+
+Our first stop will be Berlin, after [Scala Days]. This all-day meetup will include talks, a workshop, and an unconference. Thanks to Maciej Dragun for co-organizing, [Zalando] for hosting us, and [Input Objects] for their generous sponsorship!
