OOPSLA is the premier gathering of practitioners, researchers,
educators, and students sharing their ideas and experiences with
object technology. OOPSLA is more than cutting edge-it shapes what
cutting edge will look like in the years to come. OOPSLA offers a
variety of outstanding events and activities that benefit a wide
spectrum of participants-from novices to experts and everyone in
between.

There are many high-quality events at OOPSLA:

* Invited talks: This year's invited speakers include OOPSLA keynote
  speaker Tim O'Reilly, O'Reilly & Associates, and Onward! keynote
  speaker Professor Lawrence Lessig, Stanford University Law School;
  plus invited talks by Dr. Erich Gamma, IBM, on Eclipse; Gerald
  Labedz, Motorola, on Augmented Reality; and Dr. David Ungar, Sun
  Microsystems, on Programming Language Design.

* Tutorials: OOPSLA's renowned, world-class tutorials program offers
  you the knowledge you need to be most effective in today's demanding
  research and industrial climate. This year's OOPSLA has over 50
  tutorials to choose from!

* Workshops: OOPSLA workshops are intensive collaborative sessions
  where groups of object technologists meet to surface, discuss, and
  attempt to solve challenging problems facing their field.

* DesignFest(r): DesignFest participants learn more about design by
  doing it! Sharpen your skills by rolling up your sleeves and working
  on a real problem with other participants.

* Special tracks:

  - The Onward! Track contains technical and philosophical papers
    describing new paradigms or metaphors in computing, new thinking
    about objects, new framings of computational problems or systems,
    and new technologies.

  - The Domain-Driven Development track focuses on a range of emerging
    technologies, including Model-Driven Architecture, Aspect-Oriented
    Modeling, and Generative Programming.

* Books! Visit Bookseller's Alley where you can meet and talk with the
  authors---they're at OOPSLA too!

And much more, like panels, practitioner's reports, poster sessions,
the doctoral symposium, the educators' symposium, demonstrations, and
the peer-reviewed technical papers.
