[GRCon'22] Call for Participation for the GNU Radio Conference 2022 is open! || Call for Sponsorship

[Marcus Müller]

Dear Community,

Submission for talks, papers, workshops, and other contributions are now being accepted 
through the GRCon'22 website.

https://events.gnuradio.org/event/18/page/56-call-for-participation-guidelines

This call for participation closes on 27 June 2022, so remember to send in your Abstract 
till then.

A tiny bit about the GNU Radio conference:

GRCon is GNU Radio's annual conference, being held in changing cities in the U.S., and 
also live-streamed and chat-interacted online. Online watching and interaction are free 
(in terms of the talks). Registration for the in-person event starts in April.

GRCon'22 happens 26 – 30 September in Washington, DC.

What GRCon offers is a main track of presentations with topics on GNU Radio, applications 
of SDR / high-rate signal processing, computational radio science, scientific and industry 
developments, policy and technological breakthroughs.

Next to that, there's tutorials on specific topics, a poster session, Special Interest 
Groups and the developer's summit, which is the get-together for the project developers.
Oh, and of course, there's social events, happening at local highlight 
locations.

If you have *any* question (and I mean that – we're trying to make GRCon as accommodating 
as possible) about GRCon, be it about attendance, online participation, content submission 
or other problems related to the conference, we want you to reach out: Here on the mailing 
list, on the chat (https://chat.gnuradio.org), or in a private email to the GRCon 
organizers (grcon@gnuradio.org).



Now, clearly, this all requires significant funds to set up – with a history of more than 
300 in-person attendees prior to covid, and the live video streams hitting beyond 3400 
views last year, venue search is complicated, video, audio and online infrastructure 
quality and stability is of utmost importance.
As in previous years, we do not intend to push all these costs onto the attendees alone; 
instead, it has proven mutually advantagous to have sponsors contribute to the conference, 
and be present in various forms to the audience. If your company is interested in reaching 
a high-profile, technical and social audience, please do see
https://events.gnuradio.org/event/18/page/49-sponsorship-opportunities and reach out to 
sponsor@gnuradio.org .

Best regards, and: see you in person in DC or online end of September,
Marcus
