SIGecom seminar series
Overview
SIGecom is hosting a weekly virtual seminar series for fall 2022! To maximize the impact of EC'22 talks and papers, each seminar meeting will replay two EC'22 talks, followed by a 20 minute Q&A with the authors. The goal is to stimulate conversations about current and future research with EC community members across all different career stages. Meetings will take place each Friday, 11am ET (starting September 9th).
