Twitter: @podc_conference
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Key deadlines:
The early registration deadline is July, 1st.
The deadline for booking on-campus accommodations is July, 9th.
Five reasons why you should attend PODC 2018:
(1) PODC 2018 is being held on the scenic campus of Royal Holloway, University of London, which was voted the most beautiful university campus in the UK. The conference is offering low-cost accommodation on campus in modern en-suite rooms that includes full board, encouraging collaboration and socializing among attendees. The campus is a short drive from London's Heathrow airport and a fast train ride away from Central London.
(2) Co-located with the PODC 2018 are two packed days of workshops and tutorials covering many of the hot topics in modern distributed computing from both a systems and theory perspective, including blockchains, cloud computing, distributed machine learning, biological algorithms, fog and edge computing, and social networks.
(3) The PODC 2018 main conference program is filled with high-quality papers and keynote lectures that span both the theory and practice of distributed computing.
(4) Low registration fees, low-cost on-site accommodation, student travel support (expected), and the location near London Heathrow airport makes PODC 2018 both affordable and convenient.
(5) The close proximity of PODC 2018 to Windsor Castle increases the odds that the new royal couple might stop by the conference to hear some talks.

Venue information:
Royal Holloway is located in a beautiful part of Surrey, a county famed for its historic market towns, parks and woodlands, and a lively cultural sporting scene. The university campus is located very close to Runnymede, where the Magna Carta was sealed in 1215. Nearby are Windsor Great Park, adjoining Windsor Castle, and Wentworth Golf Club, home of the annual PGA Championship. Central London is easily accessible by train for a whole host of activities - trips to the shops, famous tourist attractions, galleries, theatres and nightlife.
The college campus is situated just a few minutes walk from Windsor Great Park between the villages of Englefield Green and Virginia Water, and close to the towns of Egham, Staines and Windsor.
