Sponsoring ICFP and SPLASH 2025

For the first time, two leading SIGPLAN venues—ICFP and SPLASH—will be co-located in Singapore in the coming year! This is a rare opportunity to sponsor a wide range of research related to programming languages and interact with the whole programming languages research community, from ICFP’s functional programming experts to SPLASH’s experts at the intersection of programming languages and software engineering. The 30th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP) and the ACM SIGPLAN conference on Systems, Programming, Languages, and Applications: Software for Humanity (SPLASH) will take place jointly in Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre on 12–18 October 2025.

ICFP is the premier conference on functional programming languages, covering all aspects of theory, implementation, and application. Every year, we bring together over 500 world-leading researchers, practitioners, and students to discuss the latest findings, collaborate on new ideas, and meet new people. By sponsoring ICFP, your organization can demonstrate its commitment to supporting high quality research and to developing the next generation of functional programming experts.

SPLASH is the ACM SIGPLAN conference on Systems, Programming, Languages, and Applications: Software for Humanity. SPLASH embraces all aspects of software construction and delivery—at the intersection of programming languages and software engineering—via its array of conferences and workshops, which include OOPSLA, Onward!, Scala Symposium, SAS, DSL, and VMIL. By sponsoring SPLASH, your organization can demonstrate its commitment to supporting both high quality programming languages research and to translating that research into practical benefits for the software engineering community.

These two conferences have never been co-located before, and this year’s joint event in Singapore is a great opportunity for sponsors to show their support for the whole spectrum of programming languages research with a single sponsorship. Most of our sponsorship funds are used to lower the registration prices and help students from around the world afford to attend the conference and get the most out of their experience. We believe that this commitment will pay dividends for our students, our sponsors, and the public for years to come. If you’re interested in becoming a sponsor, we’d love to hear from you: get in touch with our sponsorship team at

  • Funds in excess of the platinum level will be used to support student travel to the conference with your company named as the sponsor and lower the student registration prices.
  • Sponsoring the SPLASH Doctoral Symposium: your logo will be prominently displayed during the doctoral symposium, and the symposium will be labeled as “sponsored by” your organization in the program
  • There will only be one Student Outreach Sponsor

Diversity Sponsor - from $25,000

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are important values for both the ICFP and SPLASH communities. DEI initiatives at the joint conference will include at least two lunches targeted specifically to underrepresented groups as well as the Women in PL dinner. These aim to connect underrepresented faculty, post-docs and students, to celebrate achievements, small and big, and to provide a low-pressure atmosphere to foster building one’s support group.

  • A callout and special thanks in the “Environmental Impact” note during either ICFP or OOPSLA business meeting
