JVM Language Summit

August 5–7, 2024
Oracle Auditorium
Santa Clara, California, USA

We are pleased to announce the 2024 JVM Language Summit to be held at Oracle's Santa Clara campus on August 5–7, 2024.

The JVM Language Summit is an open technical collaboration among language designers, compiler writers, tool builders, runtime engineers, and VM architects. We will share our experiences as creators of both the JVM and programming languages for the JVM. We also welcome non-JVM developers of similar technologies to attend or speak on their runtime, VM, or language of choice.

Presentations will be recorded and made available to the public.

This event is being organized by language and JVM engineers—no marketers involved! So bring your slide rules and be prepared for some seriously geeky discussions.

The Summit will be followed by the OpenJDK Committers' Workshop on August 8–9.

Format

The Summit is held in a single classroom-style room to support direct communication between participants. About 80–100 attendees are expected.

The schedule consists of a single track of traditional presentations interspersed with less formal, multi-track “workshops” and, possibly, impromptu “lightning talks”.

Workshops are open discussion groups with only a small amount of prepared material. We ask each registrant to suggest a few topics of interest. After choosing the most popular topics, we'll ask some registrants if they would like to act as discussion leaders.

Why Should I Attend?

Registration

As space allows, we are open for registration at register.jvmlangsummit.com. Speaker registration ends May 24.

Speakers: If you would like give a presentation, please register as a General Speaker or Oracle Speaker (the latter for Oracle employees) and include a detailed abstract. There is no fee. See below for help preparing your abstract and talk. You will be notified about whether your proposal has been accepted; if not, you will be able to register as a regular attendee.

Regular attendees: Please register as a General Attendee. To cover costs, we are charging a conference fee of $495. Space is limited; if there are no available slots, send us an email and we'll let you know if we end up with more openings.

Oracle employees: Oracle employees interested in attending (but not speaking) should register as an Oracle Attendee. There is no fee, but you must get approval to attend from your manager. There may be more interested employees than there is space available, so all Oracle Attendee registrations are provisional; you will be notified if your registration can be accommodated.

Code of Conduct: All registrants should review the Oracle Event Code of Conduct.

Health and Safety: Oracle cares about the health and safety of our customers, employees, and communities. Oracle follows local health mandates to ensure we can meet in the safest way possible. As protocols and mandates may change at any time, we will do our best to communicate changes that impact our events. We encourage you to review the Health and Safety protocols in place for California.
