Call for Industry Talk Proposals
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are pleased to invite you to participate in the Twelfth ACM Conference on
Recommender Systems (RecSys 2018), the premier venue for research and
applications of recommendation technologies. ACM RecSys 2018 will be held in
Vancouver, Canada, from October 3rd to October 6th, 2018. The conference will
continue RecSys’ practice of connecting the research and practitioner
communities to exchange ideas, discuss problems, and share solutions.
Industry practitioners are invited to submit talk proposals to the RecSys
conference industry track. This track seeks presentations about challenges and
practical solutions to significant real-world issues faced by industry
practitioners. We encourage submissions that describe substantial challenges
that were overlooked by the research community and your promising new
approaches that could foster discussion and collaboration. We also recognize
that diverse speaker backgrounds and topics facilitate richer discussions at
the conference, therefore we especially encourage women and under-represented
colleagues to submit talk proposals.
Examples of talk topics include, but are not limited to:
- Challenges faced by practitioners
that are under-studied in the
research community and practical
solutions
- Novel techniques that solve
significant issues in practice
- Case studies of real-world
implementations
- Evaluation metrics and studies
- Field and user studies
- Lessons learned from real world
deployments
- Novel recommender system
applications
Note that although industry talks are solicited separately, we expect to create a combined single track program from both accepted papers and industry talks in 2018 Recsys. Furthermore, selected proposals should be accompanied by a poster for the conference.
PROPOSAL FORMAT AND SUBMISSION
We are accepting proposals for Industry talks under 20min(exact length TBD).
Proposals must include the following:
- Title and abstract of the proposal

IMPORTANT DATES
