ACM PODC 2026: CALL FOR WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS
================================================
The 45th Annual ACM SIGACT-SIGOPS Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC 2026) invites submission of proposals for workshops and tutorials to be held in conjunction with PODC 2026. PODC is the premier conference in the field of Distributed Computing. PODC workshops and tutorials provide a forum where researchers can exchange opinions, discuss new results and ideas, and provide in-depth presentations of topics of interest to the community.
PODC 2026 will be co-located with SPAA 2026 and ICALP 2026 and will be held in Egham, UK (near London), July 6-10, 2026. The days reserved for workshops and tutorials are Monday, July 6th and Friday, July 10th.
All proposals will be judged on their merits and a selection of the proposals will be accepted. Workshops and tutorial organizers are encouraged to submit proposals early to allow more time for organizational scheduling.

DATES
================================================
- Proposal submission deadline: February 28, 2026 (AoE)
- Final notification of acceptance: March 14, 2026
- Dates of the workshops and tutorials: July 6th and July 10th, 2026
================================================
INSTRUCTIONS
================================================
The proposals should be sent by e-mail to the Workshop Chairs, Siddhartha Jayanti <siddhartha.visveswara.jayanti@dartmouth.edu> and Quanquan C. Liu <quanquan.liu@yale.edu>.
A proposal should include:
(1) Title of the workshop or tutorial
(2) A description of the subject matter and why it would be of interest to the PODC community
(3) Name(s) and contact information of the organizer(s)
(4) Proposed format (e.g., invited speakers only, or peer-reviewed papers with proceedings, etc.)
(5) Length (e.g., full-day, half-day, two hours)
(6) Estimated number of speakers and attendees
(7) Link to previous editions of the same workshop (if applicable)
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Siddhartha and Quanquan.
