The conferences are important meeting places where we get inspiration, learn, and receive feedback. As described in the Conference Organization Guidelines, there are two governing and equally important committees: The Conference Organizing
Committee and the Program Committee. The Conference Organizing Committee is approved by the Policy Council as part of the site selection process. To ensure
high quality of papers and well designed programs we have a system with reviewers, thread chairs, a local program committee, and as of last year the Society
Program Oversight Committee. In this system the Conference Chair and the Program Chair have very important positions. This winter’s Policy Council meeting voted to have future Program Chairs appointed directly by the Policy Council.
