ICFP 2026: Call for Workshops, Tutorials, and Co-located Events

The 31st ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming
(ICFP) invites proposals for workshops, tutorials, and co-located events.
ICFP will be held in Indianapolis, IN, United States from *Monday, August
24 to Saturday, August 29, 2026*. ICFP provides a forum for researchers and
developers to hear about the latest work on the design, implementation,
principles, and uses of functional programming.

Proposals are invited for:

   -

   *Workshops* (and other co-located events, such as symposiums and side
   meetings) to be affiliated with ICFP 2026 and sponsored by SIGPLAN. We
   welcome proposals for events that facilitate discussions, presentations,
   hands-on activities, and other engaging formats to foster the exchange of
   new ideas and community building. These events should be less formal and
   more focused than ICFP itself, include sessions that enable interaction
   among the attendees, and foster the exchange of new ideas. The preference
   is for one-day events, but other schedules may be possible.
   -

   *Tutorials* (or panels, discussions, etc.), lasting approximately 3
   hours each, to be presented during ICFP and its co-located workshops and
   other events. Tutorials may focus either on a concrete technology or on a
   theoretical or mathematical tool. Tutorials may be intended primarily for
   researchers or for practitioners. Ideally, tutorials will have a concrete
   result, such as “Learn to do X with Y” rather than “Learn language Y”.

The workshops, tutorials, etc. may occur on August 24th (the day before
ICFP) and August 28-29th (the two days after ICFP).

*Submission Portal*: https://icfp26events.hotcrp.com/

*All co-located events* must submit a proposal — workshops, tutorials,
symposiums, or side meetings.
Submission Details
<https://icfp26.sigplan.org/track/icfp-2026-icfp-tutorials#submission-details>

   - Deadline for Workshop Proposal Submission: January 15, 2026
   - Notification of Acceptance: January 29, 2026
   - Deadline for Tutorial Proposal Submission: June 21, 2026
   - Notification of Acceptance: June 28, 2026

Prospective organizers of workshops, symposia, or co-located events with
PCs should submit proposals before the Workshop deadline. Proposals should
outline the objectives, intended audience, and planned activities.
Workshops that plan to have proceedings in the ACM DL will need SIGPLAN
approval of their proposed PC list. The workshop chairs will solicit
approval and send any feedback to workshop organizers. Workshops without
proceedings still need conference approval from ICFP. See the Submission
Portal for details.

The selection committee will review proposals. Successful workshops may be
asked to prepare a summary report suitable for publication in SIGPLAN
Notices.

Prospective organizers of tutorials, panels, or discussions should submit
proposals by the Tutorial deadline. Proposals should outline the
objectives, intended audience, and planned activities. See the Submission
Portal for details.
Selection Committee
<https://icfp26.sigplan.org/track/icfp-2026-icfp-tutorials#selection-committee>

Event proposals will be evaluated by a committee comprising members from
the ICFP 2026 organizing committee, in collaboration with the SIGPLAN
executive committee.
Sponsorship and Reimbursement
<https://icfp26.sigplan.org/track/icfp-2026-icfp-tutorials#sponsorship-and-reimbursement>

ACM-sponsored workshops are permitted to have additional sponsors (i.e.,
getting donations specifically for the workshop, not for the main
conference).

Funds go to the ACM. Workshop organizers can request reimbursement using
this form:
