Most speakers visit for several days and are available for further discussions.

This year's event will take place from June 2nd-20th in room BC 420 on the 4th floor of the IC building. We already have 32 talks scheduled, with the following highlights:

- Keynote speaker: Bing Liu is the authority on analysis of natural language data and will give the keynote talk on Monday, June 2nd, at 10:00.

- Workshop on Cyber Risk and Information Security starting right after the keynote talk and continuing until June 4th.

- Joint workshop with colleagues from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology on June 16th and 17th.

- Ecocloud event on June 5/6, held offsite at the Lausanne Palace.

This year we also have a few talks featuring research at IC. If you would like to give a presentation, it may still be possible to arrange a slot.

Thanks to Sylvie Thomet, Giovanni Cangiani and Angela Devenoge for their hard work organizing these events, and to all those who invited speakers or who will be speaking themselves. The program schedule can be found here.
