Dear colleagues,The ACM CoNEXT conference (sponsored by SIGCOMM) is soliciting site proposals for its 2013 edition.
Details on what a site proposal entails can be found on the SIGCOMM CoNEXT web page <http://www.sigcomm.org/events/conext-conference> under "Proposals for Hosting CoNEXT <http://www.sigcomm.org/events/conext-conference/site-proposals>" towards the bottom of the page, but in short, putting forward a site proposal calls for
- providing the names of volunteer General Chairs, - a site city, - target dates (the conference is held at the beginning of December),- together with some initial details on the overall organization,e.g., hotels, conference facilities, possible venues for the conference banquet, etc.
Note that like several other SIGCOMM conferences CoNEXT rotates on a three years cycle between Europe, North America, and a "wildcard". CoNEXT 2010 was in Philadelphia, PA, the 2011 edition was held for the first time in Asia in Tokyo, Japan, and just ended after what was a very successful conference, and the 2012 conference will take place in Nice, France, next December.
As result, we are now targeting a North American location for CoNEXT 2013. However, this is only a "target" and while preference will be given to proposals that conform to this target, strong proposals that don't will definitely be considered.
If you are interested in submitting a site proposal, please check the instructions on the CoNEXT page <http://www.sigcomm.org/events/conext-conference/site-proposals>, and email me ([email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>) your proposal before _*May 1st, 2012*_.
We are expecting to finalize a site selection by May 31st, 2012.There is still plenty of time before the deadline, but proposals that are submitted early will be given greater consideration.
I will send reminders, but hopefully this email will trigger several initiatives to explore the possibility of hosting CoNEXT in 2013.
Best regards, Roch
