This year, the conference will be held at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, USA. The Carnegie Mellon campus sits inside the city limits in Pittsburgh's Oakland neighborhood, a community rich with museums, libraries and entertainment, and home to both Carnegie Mellon and the University of Pittsburgh.

Carnegie Mellon is a global research university of more than 10,000 students and more than 4,000 faculty and staff, recognized for its world-class arts and technology programs, collaboration across disciplines and innovative leadership in education.

At Carnegie Mellon, our core values — innovation, creativity, problem-solving and collaborative teamwork — provide the foundation for everything we do.

Guided by these values, Carnegie Mellon students experience a distinctive education that gives them tools to pioneer solutions through an approach that values both teamwork and leadership. The effect is both far-reaching and close to home. Its real-world impact is visible within our local communities, across the country and around the world.

The university consists of seven schools and colleges: Carnegie Institute of Technology, College of Fine Arts, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, Heinz School of Public Policy and Management, Mellon College of Science, School of Computer Science and the Tepper School of Business.
