## Why Sponsor ICFP 2018?

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. Most of our sponsorship funds are used to 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
