Format
The Summit is held in a single classroom-style room to support direct communication between participants. About 100–120 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?
- Two and a half days of technical presentations and conversations about programming languages and the JVM.
- Prepared talks by numerous visiting language experts, OpenJDK engineers, and other Java luminaries.
- Many opportunities to visit and network with your peers.
- Da Vinci Machine Project memorabilia (useful for proving to your grandchildren that you were there).
- A conference dinner at a local restaurant on Tuesday night.
- A chance to help shape the future of programming languages on the JVM.
Registration
As space allows, we are open for registration at https://openjdk.regfox.com/jvmls2019. Speaker registration ends May 24.
Speakers: If you’d 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 $295. 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. There may be more interested employees than there is space to accomodate them. Thus, all Oracle registrations are provisional, and you will be notified about approval. In the mean time, you should also get approval to attend from your manager.

All registrants should review the Oracle Event Code of Conduct.
Instructions for Speakers
For a successful speaker submission, please note the following:
- All talks should be deeply technical, given by designers and implementors to designers and implementors. We all speak bytecode here!
- Each talk, we hope and expect, will inform the audience, in detail, about the state of the art of language design or implementation on the JVM, or will explore the present and future capabilities of the JVM itself. (Some will do so indirectly by discussing non-JVM technologies.)
- Know your audience: attendees may not be likely to ever use your specific language or tool, but could learn something from your interactions with the JVM. A broad goal of the summit is to inspire collaboration on JVM-based technologies that enable a rich ecosystem at higher layers.
The conference will be recorded professionally for posting on the Internet. We encourage you to allow your talk to be recorded and posted by completing the speaker release form (PDF). If you do not wish your talk to be recorded, simply do not complete the release form.
