Registration up: Biggest, best GECCO ever?
Although I'm not authorized to release the actual registration figures (if I tell you, I must kill you), I can say that same-time registrations for the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO-2005) to be held in Washington, DC, June 25-29, 2005 (Saturday-Wednesday) are up almost 20% over 2004 figures. This suggests that we may have the biggest GECCO ever, and judging by the papers, workshops, and tutorials, we already have the highest quality conference in the field lined up. With museums and attractions in DC, a large, diverse, and high quality conference, 20th year birthday party for the field of genetic and evolutionary computation, and first-time affiliation with ACM as SIGEVO, this year's GECCO should not be missed.
