Continuing the tradition of previous years, POPL 2026 will include a program of tutorials covering topics relevant to the POPL community. Please read the call for tutorials if you’re interested in presenting a tutorial on the tool or topic of your choice.
Call For Tutorials
The 53rd ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages (POPL 2026) will be held in Rennes, France.
POPL provides a forum for the discussion of fundamental principles and important innovations in the design, definition, analysis, transformation, implementation, and verification of programming languages, programming systems, and programming abstractions.
Tutorials for POPL 2026 are solicited on any topic relevant to the POPL community. We particularly encourage submissions of introductory tutorials that make the research presented at POPL more accessible to the participants.
