This is your one-stop source for all event details, venue information, logistics, and costs. As an innovative technical event, we will be using GitHub to manage every aspect of the summit, including paper submissions and attendee registration.

The Summit

Join us for an unforgettable one-day event, the Shonan Code Summit (ShoCode), focused on exploring and exchanging cutting-edge ideas and knowledge in the world of software engineering and architecture. Our goal is to bring together the finest engineers who are passionate about creating a brighter future for developers and enhancing their professional fulfillment, and together, we will push the boundaries of innovation and design.

• Location: TBD (Hayama, Japan)
• Date: TBD (August/September)
• Cost: TBD (goal is under 20,000yen)

At the heart of this event, we have a unique and engaging format:

1. Engineers will submit papers showcasing their deep technical insights, concepts, and code.
2. Selected papers will be presented by their authors during engaging and insightful sessions.
3. Attendees will have the chance to share their papers in shorter "speed-dating" type sessions, fostering dynamic and rapid exchanges of ideas.
4. Ample opportunities for networking, collaboration, and discussions will be provided throughout the day.

Key requirements for the papers and presentations include:

1. A strong focus on technical depth and innovation
