APL Seeds is an online conference held by Dyalog Ltd., aimed at new and prospective users of APL. It consists of half a day with brief overviews of the language, introductions to available resources, and demonstrations of cases where APL has been successfully applied. The sessions are recorded and later released on YouTube and dyalog.tv.

APL Seeds serves as a complement to the Dyalog user meeting which is mainly aimed at and attended by existing APL users, especially professionals.
