Join us for the 3rd Systems Distributed conference, in AMS!

A conference to teach systems programming and thinking, and how to apply these ideas. All the way across the stack. From systems languages and compilers, to databases and distributed systems.

Last Year Was A Blast

Gave an impromptu lightning talk yesterday at Systems Distributed titled: "Making a Terminal Emulator Really, Really Fast " Believe it or not this is also my first in-person public speaking since before 2020. Felt good to be back and just talking about tech for tech's sake.

@rjthepigeon

Systems Distributed is quite possibly the best technical conference I’ve ever been to. The density of interesting talks and friendly, smart, systems people is unmatched. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off my funemployment.

Very high quality speakers. I appreciated the high context discussions as well, that likely couldn't happen at a more general software engineering conference.

Natalie Vais

@natalievais

Highlights from Systems Distributed last week in NYC. Truly an incredible group of people working on databases, programming languages, compilers, testing, cryptography etc all in one place.

No one brings more show biz to systems research than

Amazing speakers - so many authors I've read and followed over many years in one place.

Loved the mix of content - "systems" in many senses but all felt really useful and thought provoking - and hearing from a diverse set of speakers and attendees.

The community was friendly and welcome. Learned a ton. Met amazing people. Easily one of the best conferences I’ve attended.

Systems Distributed was hands down one of the best conferences I’ve ever been to, extremely high quality speaker, talks and attendees. Can’t wait for the next iteration!

Intimate, focused on technology, educational, nice and accessible participants. Positive attitudes and enthusiasm for future of systems programming. Mixture of perspectives. Lightning talks were great.

LOCATION

Venue

Eye Filmmuseum is an iconic building on the river IJ. Part space ship, possibly.

Consider extending your trip. This year Amsterdam celebrates 750 years and there are activities throughout the week of SD'25. The week after the conference, Sigmod 2025 takes place in Berlin.
