  <h1>Heart of Clojure 2024</h1>
  <h2 class="accent">September 18 & 19, Leuven, Belgium</h2>
  <p class="lead">
    Heart of Clojure is a two day people-first tech conference in the heart of
    Europe, which blends high quality presentations with the audience led nature
    of unconferences. It's an interactive event in a beautiful setting which
    optimizes for human interaction.
  </p>
  <p class="lead">
    As the biggest active Clojure conference in Europe we provide an opportunity
    for the European Clojure community to convene and connect, but much of the
    program isn't about Clojure per se, and we warmly welcome anyone who's
    interested in functional programming, open source community, or just wants
    to hang out with a few hundred open minded technologists.
  </p>
  <p class="lead">
    This year we have not one but two venues: <a class="inline-link"
    href="https://www.hetdepot.be/">Het Depot</a> &#40;an old cinema turned
    music venue&#41; and <a class="inline-link"
    href="https://www.hal5.be/">Hal5</a> &#40;a converted railroad
    workshop&#41;. Both are a few minutes walk away from the Leuven train
    station.
