Melbourne 2016 Speakers!


C◦mp◦se :: Melbourne is extremely pleased to announce the line-up of presenters for Day-One of the conference! We had a total of 31 excellent submissions after extending the CFP, and have selected 10 of these for our program.

The program is made-up of a technically diverse selection of presentations that should be accessible to a wide variety of skill-levels, as well as touching on many different interests, including new-languages, graphics, theory, industry, data-science, and type-driven-development. The first day of C◦mp◦se :: Melbourne will open with a keynote from Manuel Chakravarty on Graphics and Animations in Haskell.
