CRA Conference at Snowbird Update

After careful consideration of the current and projected situation surrounding the pandemic, CRA has unfortunately decided to cancel the in-person CRA Conference at Snowbird scheduled to take place this August. At this time, there are simply too many uncertainties to move forward.

We believe interaction is a critical feature of this conference. Given we held a virtual version last year, we have decided not to organize a hybrid or entirely virtual meeting this year, as this is typically an off year for Snowbird. CRA is currently planning to hold a full in-person Conference at Snowbird on July 19-21, 2022.

The program committee put in a large amount of work – over two years – and we all owe them a huge debt of gratitude for their efforts: Penny Rheingans (University of Maine) Co-Chair, Jaime Teevan (Microsoft Research) Co-Chair, James Allan (University of Massachusetts, Amherst), Christine Alvarado (University of California, San Diego), Lorrie Cranor (Carnegie Mellon University), Kate Larson (University of Waterloo), Ran Libeskind-Hadas (Harvey Mudd College), Patrick Pantel (Facebook) and Divesh Srivastava (AT&T Labs Research).

With the 2022 event, CRA will resume the regular conference pattern of every other year with a conference in subsequent even number years. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time. We look forward to seeing everyone in person in 2022!
