Sponsoring ISSTA and SPLASH 2026

Coming up in Oakland, two leading SIGPLAN venues—ISSTA and SPLASH—will be co-located in a joint conference venue! 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 ISSTA’s software testing and analysis experts to SPLASH’s experts at the intersection of programming languages and software engineering. The 35th ACM SIGSOFT International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis (ISSTA) and the ACM SIGPLAN conference on Systems, Programming, Languages, and Applications: Software for Humanity (SPLASH) will take place jointly in Oakland on 3–9 October 2026.

ISSTA is the leading research symposium on software testing and analysis, bringing together academics, industrial researchers, and practitioners to exchange new ideas, problems, and experience on how to analyze and test software systems. By sponsoring ISSTA, your organization can demonstrate its commitment to supporting the advancement of software testing.

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, REBASE, 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.

This year’s joint event in Oakland 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.
