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 (guerin at ee.upenn.edu <mailto:guerin at ee.upenn.edu>) 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
