This workshop will bring together world leaders in programming languages research and teaching from academia and industry to help students imagine how they might contribute to our research community. Topics will range from the abstract (e.g., what is PL research and how does one become involved in it) to the concrete (e.g., how to navigate an academic conference, how to pick a research area) as well as technical talks on cutting-edge topics.</span></p>

One goal of the workshop is to make the ICFP conference more accessible to newcomers. We hope that participants will stay through the entire conference.</span></p>
