I am proud to be serving as Chair of the Steering Committee for the ACM Global Computing Education Conference (CompEd). CompEd is the 4th conference to be sponsored by SIGCSE.

The first CompEd will be held in Chengdu, China in May, 2019. We are considering a site in India for the second offering. The language of the conference will be English, and we are projecting a 33% acceptance rate.

The conference may be held anywhere on Earth, outside North America and Europe, where the other three SIGCSE conferences are frequent: the SIGCSE Technical Symposium (always held in the US), ITiCSE (always held in Europe*), and ICER which floats between North America, Europe, and Australasia.

*In 2016 ITiCSE was held in Peru, and this was part of the decision to launch a 4th ‘global’ conference.

More information on the conference can be found here. I will be sharing regular updates here and at CS0 as things progress.
