2. Call for Talk Proposals: Networking Channel Fall'24 Session
As we gear up for the Fall 2024 session of the Networking Channel, we invite you to contribute your ideas and expertise to our vibrant community. The Networking Channel is an online talk series dedicated to all things computer networking, and we're excited to curate an engaging lineup of discussions, panels, and thought-provoking talks (for our previous events, please see our web site https://networkingchannel.eu/ and youtube channel linked therein). Whether you're a seasoned researcher, a budding practitioner, or simply passionate about networking, we want to hear from you! Propose topics that ignite curiosity, challenge norms, or shed light on emerging trends. Self-nominations, nominations of others, talk ideas, topic ideas, thought-provoking questions, etc are all welcome. Proposals are taken year-round but for Fall'24 please submit by August 15, 2024. Please submit your ideas using this form: https://networkingchannel.eu/contact/. Include a brief description of your idea, and speakers or panelist details (if applicable).
3. SIGCOMM'24 Call for Non Paper Sessions
Beyond technical papers, conferences thrive on informal interactions, mentoring, and diverse sessions. While traditional research paper sessions have their place, we’re exploring new avenues. As an experiment, we invite proposals for non-paper sessions. Let’s reimagine the SIGCOMM conference together! Submit exciting ideas that enrich our community experience. We invite proposals for both technical and non-technical non-paper sessions. Technical Sessions deviate from traditional formats; examples: Invited talks, panels on cross-disciplinary impact, lightning talks, hackathons, and insights from non-traditional participants (e.g., open-source maintainers). Non-Technical Sessions foster community connections; examples: personal networking events and mentoring sessions. Our evaluation criterion: interest to the SIGCOMM community. Let's reimagine conferences together! Please submit your proposals by the due date of April 26, 2024.
For more details, see: https://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2024/cf-nonpaper/.
4. SIGCOMM'24 Call for Posters, Demos, and Student Research Competition
Join us at SIGCOMM 2024 for an exciting showcase of works-in-progress! Our poster/demo session provides an informal platform to present your research. Here’s why you should participate: Student and industry submissions are welcome. Emphasize research problems faced by the industry and share practical insights. Presenting a poster allows you to receive feedback from experts. Accepted posters and demos will be part of the conference proceedings. Showcase your original research before judges and attendees in the ACM SIGCOMM Student Research Competition (SRC). Submit your proposals and be part of the vibrant SIGCOMM community!

Accepted workshop papers will be part of the conference proceedings.
For more details, see: https://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2024/cf-workshops/.
8. A New Proposal for Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives
The SIGCOMM EC has developed a proposal for a new approach we are taking on diversity and inclusion. Building upon last year's discussions and community feedback, we've crafted a plan to allocate resources and efforts strategically. Our goal is to empower students in need and create an inclusive environment in a sustainable manner. Please take a moment to read our proposal and share your thoughts. Your input will help create a more supportive and equitable community.
Here is a link to the proposal: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fZFIXQR-fFIaOiZmhLFtLSEr5A5Q2qoCsSuTT9phI1o/edit?usp=sharing.
9. IMC'24 Call for Papers
The Internet Measurement Conference (IMC) is a highly selective venue for the presentation of measurement-based research in data communications. As we are in the era of data-driven research, IMC 2024 will focus on improving the standard in the collection, usage, and sharing of network measurements for the research community. IMC 2024 will continue the Replicability Track for submissions that aim to reproduce or replicate results that have been previously published at IMC. Full papers (up to 13 pages) and short papers (up to 6 papers) are invited for submission.
For more details, see: https://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2024/cfp/.
10. Call for Nominations: SIGCOMM Education Director
The SIGCOMM Education Director is a member of the SIGCOMM Executive Committee who is responsible for coordinating activities aimed at creating educational material and opportunities on various networking topics for students and our members, as well as for soliciting and initiating new activities in those areas. Examples of past such activities include contributions to organizing shadow TPCs, supporting summer schools, organizing education workshops, initiating the CoNEXT student workshop, editing the SIGCOMM ebook on recent advances in networking, etc. The next Education Director is encouraged to consider new, innovative activities. Maybe you could help create an LLM for networking research, or organize an online SIGCOMM paper reading group for the community. Interested parties should email caesar@illinois.edu, who will bring candidates forward to the EC for consideration.
11. Call for Site Proposals for SIGCOMM'26
The SIGCOMM EC is excited to announce the call for site proposals for SIGCOMM 2026! As we plan for another impactful conference, we invite potential organizers to propose exciting locations and venues. SIGCOMM follows a three-year rotation (North America, Europe, and 'wild card'), so 2026 is "wild-card", so proposals should be outside North America and Europe.
Here's your chance to shape the future of SIGCOMM and showcase your geographic region and its vibrant research ecosystem. Strong proposals should be near a major international airport, within reach of regular train/cab/shuttle service, have a venue to hold and provide Internet connectivity for over 700 attendees. Please submit your proposals by May 31st, 2024.
For more details, see: https://www.sigcomm.org/conference-planning/sigcomm-planning/site-proposal-instructions.

8. Statement on Change
The SIGCOMM community is leading an open and decentralized effort to collect and encourage adoption of proposals for change to our conferences. We are collecting ideas, will apply vetting, create a menu of suggestions, and encourage those responsible for organizing conferences to pick up and experiment with some of those ideas. The SIGCOMM EC has created a web site to keep track of some of these ideas. It is accessible here: https://www.sigcomm.org/change.
The EC has also held discussions with upcoming conferences to understand their plans for adopting proposed ideas. While more work needs to be done, and practical challenges are becoming more clear, the EC is encouraged by and impressed with the tenacity and eagerness of all conference organizers in considering and undertaking adoption of community ideas. The EC appreciates the patience and efforts of the community to support volunteer conference organizers in making these changes, which often require far more work than is immediately apparent. We appreciate the willingness of the SIGCOMM community to consider experimenting with change and we believe exciting things are in store in the coming years.
