[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call]


*** Call for GECCO 2024 Workshops ***



2024 ACM Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO 2024)

July 14-18, 2024, Melbourne, Australia and Virtual (hybrid conference) https://gecco-2024.sigevo.org



The Workshops Chairs of GECCO 2024 invite domain experts to submit proposals for organizing a workshop at GECCO 2024. The non-extendable deadline is:



Workshop Proposal Deadline:       November 2, 2023 (AoE)

            Acceptance Decision:                      December 7, 2023



Workshops at GECCO provide the possibility to commonly develop visions and exchange ideas in an informal setting, especially if focused on an emerging research field or interdisciplinary research area. In contrast to regular sessions, workshops can (and should) host interactive sessions (discussions, demonstrations, etc.). Attendance at the workshops will be free to all GECCO attendees.


Workshop organizers are responsible for coordination and publicity. If paper submissions are invited for the workshop (this is not a requirement!), workshop organizers take care of the review process, under the supervision of the GECCO 2024 workshop chairs. If applicable, workshop organizers also provide a list of additional (invited) speakers and titles of talks to be given.


Note that organizers, participants and presenters must register for the conference.

We strongly encourage workshops in hybrid mode rather than online only.

If possible, at least one organizer of each workshop should attend the conference in person.


Accepted workshop papers will be published as part of a Companion volume to the conference proceedings in the ACM Digital library.

* Reviewing of Proposals *
