All developers and users of LLVM and related sub-projects are invited to present at the 2026 LLVM Developers’ Meeting! This conference will be held in-person in Santa Clara, California on October 27-28 (workshops on October 26). All talks are required to be in person (this is not a hybrid event). We encourage new contributors to the LLVM Project to submit a talk proposal. We are looking for the following proposals:

• Technical Talks (20 minutes): 20-minute deep dives spanning core infrastructure to real-world projects built on LLVM including new projects, industry use cases, and academic research.
• Tutorials (40-50 minutes*) Go deep on LLVM infrastructure, core libraries, or tooling with detailed examples and explanations. Demos are strongly encouraged.
• Student Technical Talks (15 minutes) A dedicated space for the next generation of LLVM contributors to present research using LLVM, Clang, or related subprojects. This is not a competition, but a chance to share your work and connect with the community.
• Quick Technical Talks (10 minutes) Got more to say than a lightning talk allows? These focused sessions give a topic the space to go deeper with room for technical detail, but without the full length of a technical talk.
• Lightning Talks (5 minutes) Fast, punchy, and curiosity-sparking. A high-energy way to get your idea or project in front of the community.
• Panels (45 minutes*) Lively discussions among experts, shaped in real time by audience questions and interests. Panels will be capped at 4 panelists and 1 moderator. Please determine your panelists before your submission.
• Present your work during the dedicated poster session. This is a great way to spark one-on-one conversations with attendees.

* Exact times TBD after talks selected and the schedule planned For each proposal you must submit the following:

• Talk title
• Abstract (1-3 paragraph description of your talk)
• Submission type
• For technical talk submissions, you can indicate if you would give a shorter talk (ie. Lightning or Quick instead of full length Technical Talk)
• Photo and bios for all speakers
• Short abstract for the website
• Extended PDF abstract (optional)

One 50% discounted conference registration is available per accepted session (Technical Talk, Tutorial, Student Talk, or Panel). If a session has multiple speakers, the discount may be applied to only one speaker. There is no discounted registration for posters, lighting talks or quick talks. If your accepted talk is not in one of those categories with discounted registration, please reach out if you need financial support for registration.
