Please contact Mae Milano (mpmilano@cs.princeton.edu) with questions.
Women@PLDI Dinner
The Women@PLDI dinner will be held on 26 June with the goal of creating a women-centered space, building relationships, and informal networking.
Dinner will be held at the Blue Elephant restaurant located in the conference hotel (http://www.blueelephant.dk/). Any PLDI attendee who identifies as a woman, or who finds fellowship in women-centered events, is welcome. This explicitly includes nonbinary, transmasc, agender/gender-questioning individuals, and trans individuals of all stripes who find fellowship in women-centered events, including students, post-docs, faculty, and industry professionals.
LGBTQ@PLDI Lunch
The LGBTQ@PLDI lunch will be held on Thursday, June 27 with the goal of bringing together members of the LGBTQ+ community and provide opportunities for networking and community building.
Lunch will be served in the conference hotel in a private section of the main lunchroom. Anyone who identifies as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community at POPL is welcome, including students, post-docs, faculty, and industry professionals. Note that this area may be partially visible from the lunch lines; if you are seeking fellowship with the PL LGBTQIA+ community but concerned about being seen attending this lunch, please feel free to reach out to Mae Milano (mpmilano@cs.princeton.edu) if comfortable.
URM@PLDI lunch
The URM@PLDI lunch will be held on Friday, June 28 with the goal of bringing together all who are under-represented within the SIGPLAN community. This lunch is explicitly intended to be a “big tent” event, and is open to all who are under-represented in the community, with a special emphasis on those who are not already served by a dedicated PLDI DEI event.

Code of Conduct
The open exchange of ideas and the freedom of thought and expression are central to the aims and goals of SIGPLAN; these require an environment that recognizes the inherent worth of every person and group, that fosters dignity, understanding, and mutual respect, and that embraces diversity. For these reasons, SIGPLAN is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience, and abides by the ACM Policy Against Discrimination and Harassment.
Conference participants violating these standards may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference, at the discretion of the conference organizers. Conference organizers are requested to report serious incidents to the SIGPLAN Vice Chair.
ACM Policy Against Discrimination and Harassment
Expected Behavior
We expect all participants in ACM activities to abide by this policy in all venues, including ancillary events and unofficial social gatherings:
- Exercise consideration and respect in your speech and actions;
- Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior and speech;
- Be mindful of your surroundings and of your fellow participants;
- Alert community leaders if you notice a dangerous situation, someone in distress, or violations of this policy, even if they seem inconsequential.
Unacceptable Behavior
Unacceptable at any ACM activity is:
Abuse: Any action directed at an individual that (a) interferes substantially with that person’s participation; or (b) causes that person to fear for his/her personal safety. This includes threats, intimidation, bullying, stalking, or other types of abuse.
Discriminatory Harassment: Any conduct that discriminates or denigrates an individual on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, citizenship, nationality, age, sexual or gender identity, disability, or any other characteristic protected by law in the location where the ACM activity takes place.
Sexual Harassment: Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal/physical conduct of a sexual nature. Examples include (but are not limited to):
- unwelcome advances or propositions, particularly when one individual has authority over the other;
- inappropriate touching of an individual’s body; degrading or humiliating comments about an individual’s appearance;
- using an activity-related communication channel to display or distribute sexually explicit images or messages;
Alert community leaders if you notice a dangerous situation, someone in distress, or violations of this policy, even if they seem inconsequential.
Unacceptable behaviors include, but are not limited to:
- intimidating, harassing, abusive, discriminatory, derogatory or demeaning speech or actions by any participant in ACM activities, at all related events and in one-on-one communications carried out in the context of ACM activities;
- offensive, degrading, humiliating, harmful, or prejudicial verbal or written comments or visual images related to gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, disability, age, appearance, or other personal characteristics; unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal/physical conduct of a sexual nature;
- inappropriate or gratuitous use of nudity, sexual images, or stereotyped images including using an activity-related communication channel to display or distribute sexually explicit or otherwise offensive or discriminatory images or messages;
- deliberate intimidation, stalking or following;
- harassing photography or recording;
- sustained disruption of talks or other events;
- unwelcome and uninvited attention or contact;
- physical assault (including unwelcome touch or groping);
- real or implied threat of physical harm;
- real or implied threat of professional or financial damage or harm.
Harassment can occur when there is no deliberate intention to offend. Be careful in the words that you choose. Harassment committed in a joking manner or disguised as a compliment still constitutes unacceptable behavior. Remember that sexist, racist, and other exclusionary jokes can be offensive to those around you.
Consequences of Unacceptable Behavior
If a participant in an ACM activity engages in prohibited behavior, ACM reserves the right to take any action ACM deems appropriate. ACM reserves the right to:
- remove an individual from any ACM activity without warning or refund; prohibit an individual from participating in future ACM activities, including publishing in ACM publications;
- exclude an individual from ACM leadership positions;
- exclude any individual from deriving other benefits from ACM activities; suspend or terminate membership in ACM.
Such sanctions may be applied regardless of whether or not the offender is a member of ACM.
Appropriate sanctions also will be taken toward any individual who knowingly makes a false allegation of harassment.
How to Report Unacceptable Behavior
Any individual who experiences harassment (as described above) at any ACM activity should follow the Procedures for Reporting Unacceptable Behavior.
