The LLVM Developers' Meeting is a bi-annual 2 day gathering of the entire LLVM Project community. The conference is organized by the LLVM Foundation and many volunteers within the LLVM community. Developers and users of LLVM, Clang, and related subprojects will enjoy attending interesting talks, impromptu discussions, and networking with the many members of our community. Whether you are a new to the LLVM project or a long time member, there is something for each attendee.

Tickets for the 2-day conference & reception are $350, and $300 for just the 2-day conference. Student tickets are $75/$50 and we ask that you use your student email during registration. Please note that early registration will end on September 22 at 11:59 PDT and a late registration (and increased rates) will go into effect after this date. We highly encourage you to register early. 

Our ticket prices are subsidized by almost 50% by generous corporate sponsors <http://llvm.org/foundation/sponsors.html> and public donations. However, for those in a position to pay the full ticket cost (or your employer), we invite you to select the Supporter Ticket option during registration. This ticket price is based upon our estimated cost for the event per person. By purchasing this ticket, it will allow us to keep ticket prices low and fund other programs such as more Educational Outreach, Travel Grants & Scholarships, Women in Compilers & Tools, and LLVM project infrastructure. 

New this year: We will have a newcomers orientation <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/newcomer-orientation-2019-llvm-developers-meeting-bay-area-tickets-64471499992> on October 21, from 5:45-6:30PM. This is a short session for those attending the LLVM Developers' Meeting for the first time or for those who have not attended in awhile. This orientation will provide a conference overview, and useful information on how to participate and get involved during the conference. If you are interested in networking and meeting other new LLVM Developers, then you should attend this event. There is a separate EventBrite page <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/newcomer-orientation-2019-llvm-developers-meeting-bay-area-tickets-64471499992> to register.

There will also be a Women in Compilers and Tools Workshop the day before on October 21st (~12:30-6:30pm). Details will be coming soon on this event.
