Just to be picky, I think you should no longer use the "Low-Level Virtual
Machine" name when promoting the project and instead just use LLVM:

I missed that when I copypasted from last year's announcement. Sorry!

Dear LLVM user,
We are proud to announce the second European LLVM event on April 12-13 2012 in
London, UK, starting at noon on April 12th .
This will be a full one-day conference with the intention and aim of exposing
new developments and supporting and strengthening the network of LLVM developers
around Europe. The format will resemble that of the previous meeting held in
London in September 2011 but with more time for presentations and networking.
The meeting is open to anyone from corporate to academia, professionals to
enthusiasts, and is not in any way limited to those from Europe - people from
other regions are welcome.
Format
We intend the conference to consist of one full day of presentations and BoFs
running from noon to noon (12pm Thursday - 12pm Friday), followed by optional
workshops on Friday afternoon to cover broader technical areas and help
familiarise attendees with LLVM internals and use cases.
This format depends on receiving sufficient presentation and workshop proposals.
Call for Speakers, Posters, Demos
We invite academic, industrial and hobbyist speakers to present their work on
developing or using LLVM and Clang. We invite abstracts for technical
presentations, posters, workshops, demonstrations and BoFs relating to
LLVM/Clang development and use. Material will be chosen to cover a broad
spectrum of themes and topics at various depths, some technical deep-diving,
some surface-scratching.
We are looking for:
*         Keynote speakers.
*         Technical presentations (30 minutes plus questions and discussion)
relating to LLVM and Clang.
*         Presentations relating to academic or commercial use of LLVM and
Clang.
*         Workshops and in-depth tutorials (1-2 hours - please specify in your
abstract).
The deadline for receiving an extended abstract is February 10th, 2012. Speakers
will be notified of acceptance or rejection before February 24th. The final
submission deadline is March 30th. Slides and posters must be in PDF format.
Please note that presentation materials and videos for the technical sessions
will be posted on llvm.org<http://llvm.org> after the conference.
Organisation
We'll be discussing the organisation of the event on the main LLVM mailing
list (llvmdev at cs.uiuc.edu<http://cs.uiuc.edu>), and we welcome
suggestions and help.
Registration
Registration is now open and is via email (Euro-LLVM at
arm.com<http://arm.com>), on a first-come-first-served basis, free of
charge.  Please send your details (name, email, company/institution) and
we'll publish this on the official LLVM website (unless requested
otherwise). Attendance will be limited to about 100 people.
A dinner will be provided on Thursday evening - this will also be free of
charge. Please include whether you'll be attending the dinner in your
registration email. The venue is a hotel and we will make some rooms available a
discounted price at https://hotelres.vbookings.co.uk/b/armeullvm/.
Financial Support
There may be a possibility of limited funding to help students or contributors
who could not otherwise attend the conference.  This will depend on overall
sponsorship and companies' interest in supporting the event. Those who are
funded will be required to present something at the meeting  (a poster, chair a
BoF, a lightning talk, a full presentation...) and may have other obligations to
the sponsor (e.g. writing a blog post or a trip report).
If you need funding to attend the meeting, or can help sponsor, please tell us
in your registration email (to Euro-LLVM at arm.com<http://arm.com>).
About LLVM
The Low-Level Virtual Machine (LLVM) is a collection of libraries and tools that
make it easy to build compilers, optimizers, Just-In-Time  code generators, and
many other compiler-related programs. LLVM uses a  single, language-independent
virtual instruction set both as an offline code representation (to communicate
code between compiler  phases and to run-time systems) and as the compiler
internal  representation (to analyse and transform programs).

Just to be picky, I think you should no longer use the "Low-Level Virtual
Machine" name when promoting the project and instead just use LLVM:
