The LLVM Foundation is pleased to announce the 14th annual LLVM Developers’
Meeting in the Bay Area <https://llvm.org/devmtg/2020-09/> on September 28-29
in San Jose, CA. We will have additional events on September 27th in the
afternoon/evening which be announced when available.
The LLVM Developers' Meeting is a bi-annual 2 day gathering of the entire LLVM
Project community. The conference is organized by the LLVM Foundation and many
volunteers within the LLVM community. Developers and users of LLVM, Clang, and
related subprojects will enjoy attending interesting talks, impromptu
discussions, and networking with the many members of our community. Whether you
are a new to the LLVM project or a long time member, there is something for
each attendee.
Given the current situation regarding COVID-19, we feel it is best to be
totally transparent with our planning process. We are closely monitoring the
news regarding restrictions on travel and large gatherings and also following
the World Health Organization's advice. It takes about 9-12 months of planning
for our developers’ meetings and given we do not know the situation in
September, we are moving forward with the hope that it will be safe to host our
event.
What can you expect at a LLVM Developers' Meeting?
Technical Talks: These 20-30 minute talks cover all topics from core
infrastructure talks, to project's using LLVM's infrastructure. Attendees will
take away technical information that could be pertinent to their project or
general interest.
Tutorials: Tutorials are 50 minute sessions that dive down deep into a
technical topic. Expect in depth examples and explanations.
Lightning Talks: These are fast 5 minute talks that give you a taste of a
project or topic. Attendees will hear a wide range of topics and probably leave
you wanting to learn more.
Panels: Panel sessions are guided discussions about a specific topic. The panel
consists of ~3 developers who discuss a topic through prepared questions from a
moderator. The audience is also given the opportunity to ask questions of the
panel.
Birds of a Feather: Large round table discussions with a more formal directed
discussion.
Student Research Competition: Students present their research using LLVM or

attendees to ask questions and discuss.
