Show us the Future of Programming

Do you have a vision of the future of programming?
Can you demo a prototype of that future?
Do you want to exchange feedback and support with your peers?

Call for Submissions to
The Future Programming Workshop

We are holding two events. First, in partnership with the Emerging Languages Camp, FPW×ELC will be at Strange Loop on September 17 in St. Louis MO. Second, at SPLASH in Portland OR on October 20.

We want to build a community of researchers and practitioners exploring the frontiers of programming. We are looking for new ideas that could radically improve the practice of programming. Ideas too embryonic for an academic paper yet developed enough to demonstrate a prototype. Show us your stuff!

FPW×ELC will present live demonstrations before an audience. The SPLASH event will be an intense, private writer’s workshop^1,2. This process will be a chance to give and take both creative support and incisive criticism.

Submissions will be 15 minute demo screencasts. You can select either or both of the events in your submission. The submission deadline is June 8 and notifications will be sent June 27. After the events participants will have until December 1 to revise their screencasts for archival publication on our website. The submission site is now open. For questions please see the FAQ or ask info@future-programming.org.
