The full program for the GECCO-2001 conference (Genetic and Evolutionary Computation COnference - 2001) is now available at the GECCO web site, www.isgec.org/GECCO-2001. The conference will include 24 tutorials, 14 workshops, 167 refereed papers, 115 refereed posters, and 82 late-breaking papers! The conference will be held in San Francisco from July 7-11. June 7 is also the last day to register for GECCO-2001 at a discounted rate (the early rate deadline passed last month, and the "late" rate is only in effect until June 7 (postmark or receipt of on-line or faxed registrations). After that, regular rates go up $40, and student rates by $20. So if you've been planning to attend, but haven't yet registered, this is the time to do it! Also, you should line up your hotel accommodations very soon, to maximize convenience and minimize cost. Don't miss this great opportunity to talk with the leaders in the field and learn about genetic algorithms, genetic programming, evolution strategies, evolutionary programming, and other types of evolutionary computation. It's the oldest and largest conference in the field, combining the ICGA (started in 1985) and the Genetic Programming Conference.
