It’s that time of year again! This week, the 2006 SIGIR conference will be taking place… and best of all, it’ll be right here in Seattle! The fun starts today (Sunday) with tutorials and an opening reception hosted by our friends at Boeing. We’ve got three days of papers that look quite good, and have some nice events Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights! Thursday, AIRWeb, the Adversarial IR workshop, will take place, which looks to be a great session as well.
So, if you’re in town and haven’t signed up, stop on by and register… it’ll be well worth your time. Plus, you’ll get to meet all the people who are busy making search engines, as opposed to everyone down at SES in San Jose who are busy figuring out how to game them. Granted, they’re buying many more drinks for the locals there… but hey, we’ve got the Blue Angels!
