The final schedule for CUFP 2010 is up and registration is now available.

In my highly biased opinion (I'm one of the chairs of the program committee this year), CUFP is going to be fantastic. There's a great set of hand-picked invited tutorials on the first day, and a great collection of short talks for the second day. We're also going to organize a set of informal BOFs on a couple of evenings, but the processing of setting that up is still going forward.

I've attached the official call for participation below. I hope to see many of you in Baltimore!

Commercial Users of Functional Programming Workshop (CUFP) 2010 Call for Participation Sponsored by SIGPLAN Co-located with ICFP 2010 _________________________________________________________ 1 - 2 October 2010 Baltimore (MD), USA http://cufp.org/conference/schedule/2010 Reservation will be available through ICFP's website: http://www.icfpconference.org/icfp2010 _________________________________________________________ Functional programming languages have been a hot topic of academic research for over 35 years, and have seen an ever larger practical impact in settings ranging from tech startups to financial firms to biomedical research labs. At the same time, a vigorous community of practically-minding functional programmers has come into existence. CUFP is designed to serve this community. The annual CUFP workshop is a place where people can see how others are using functional programming to solve real world problems; where practitioners meet and collaborate; where language designers and users can share ideas about the future of their favorite language; and where one can learn practical techniques and approaches for putting functional programming to work. CUFP 2010 will feature three hour Functional Programming tutorials given by language experts on the first day and Experience and Technical Talks on day two. Attendees may attend either or both days.
