Hi everyone!
We are super excited to announce that FP Launchpad is hosting FUN OCaml 2027 in Bangalore! This will be the very first edition of FUN OCaml (and the first major OCaml conference) in India.
FUN OCaml 2027 is a two-day open source hacking event dedicated to OCaml enthusiasts and professionals, focusing on the real-world impact of OCaml and bringing our global community together.
Event Details
- Dates: January 25-26, 2027
- Location: MLR Convention Centre, Brigade Millennium Campus, JP Nagar 7th Phase, Bangalore
- Format: Day 1 is dedicated to talks (including a keynote, live-streamed online), and Day 2 features hands-on workshops and collaborative hacking.
Call for Participation (CFP) is Open!
The call is open through September 30. We welcome submissions from all experience levels - whether you are a first-time speaker, industry practitioner, academic researcher, or open source maintainer.
Topics we are especially excited about:
- How you use OCaml in your business or personal projects
- OCaml libraries, frameworks, and tools in the ecosystem
- Hands-on demonstrations that inspire people to hack on Day 2
- Deep dives into actual code and the reasoning behind design decisions
- Experience reports and lessons learned
All talks will be live-streamed and uploaded to watch.ocaml.org and FUN OCaml’s YouTube channel.
- Submit your proposal: https://fun-ocaml.com/ (or directly via the CFP submission link)
- Stay updated: Follow FUN OCaml on its various social channels and join the FUN OCaml Discord server (see website).
We can’t wait to see your proposals and look forward to welcoming you to Bangalore!
Note: A major reason why we’ve chosen to host FUN OCaml in India this year is that we will (a) have an easy time getting the event fully booked, with both students and professionals, and (b) will be able to again afford high production quality recordings. We expect higher demand and more participants for the OCaml beginners workshop. At the same time, we understand that traveling to India is less ideal than traveling in the EU.
As a speaker, if there’s any concern about funding travel, please check the box in the CFP form to apply for financial assistance. Also, send your proposals early, so that you can start visa application (we provide visa support) as soon as your session is accepted.
