Call for Proposals for CVPR 2021

Call for Proposals for CVPR 2021 

At this year's CVPR we will vote on the organizing team and location
for CVPR 2021. Please send proposals to morse@byu.edu by June 21,
2017.

For many years, we have tried to maintain a loose geographic rotation
between the east coast, west coast, and mountain/central
regions. Although this is more of a guideline than a hard rule, it's
served us well. Through various accidents of scheduling -- the
relocation of the 2017 meeting due to Zika, holding the 2019 meeting
on the west coast in order to co-locate with ICML and work with their
rotation, and the one-off scheduling of the 2020 meeting -- we will
end up having five straight meetings (2016-2020) in the western part
of the country. For this reason, strong preference should be given to
meeting locations in the eastern part of the continent.

Proposals should include the following information: dates, city,
meeting site, hotels, and team details (general chairs, program
chairs, finance chair, local arrangements, and some of the other
members in charge of the program). CVPR is generally held during the
second through fourth weeks of June, with this year's meeting being an
obvious exception. It's difficult to project the growth of the
meeting, but the primary meeting site should be capable of supporting
6000 attendees (or more) and have sufficient space for our growing
industrial exhibition, which generally means convention centers or
similar venues. The team should contact the site in advance to make
sure the intended dates are indeed available and attempt to reserve
those dates if possible. The proposal should specify the sponsorship
model (pure IEEE-CS, mixed IEEE-CS/CVF, or other) and include a
preliminary budget. After proposals are submitted, additional
information may be requested by the PAMI-TC Executive Committee or
potential sponsors.

Voting will be conducted using the same process we used last year:
there will be an electronic vote open to all registered attendees at
CVPR 2017, which will open after the bids are presented at the TC
meeting and close 24 hours later. While we hope to get multiple bids,
if fewer than two proposals are submitted by the deadline, the PAMI-TC
executive committee may choose to put also together a team and venue.
