Do you have something to share with the OpenMP community? Submit a short abstract by June 15 to OpenMPCon for an opportunity to present! The deadline to submit a talk for OpenMPCon 2017 has been extended to June 15, 2017 and we encourage everyone to help us create an interesting agenda for the OpenMP Community meeting by submitting relevant talks, such as: 

&bull;	A new tool with OpenMP support
&bull;	Extension of the functionality of your tool with better OpenMP support
&bull;	How you and your organization uses OpenMP in applications
&bull;	Ideas to extend OpenMP which can lead to an interesting discussion
&bull;	Any other interesting news in the context of OpenMP

development from any discipline, algorithms, performance analysis, tools and
libraries, optimization, verification, portability and education. Sessions
can be in the form of technical presentations, tutorials and workshops,
posters, or panel discussions. 
 
All submissions should be in the form of short abstracts (minimum 300
words, maximum 1,000 words) and must be handed in as a PDF document. 
All submissions will go through a peer review process. Session material
