[GRCon'23] Call for Participation for the GNU Radio Conference 2023

[Marcus Müller]

Dear Community,

GRCon'23 is happening in early September this year – so our submission deadlines are a bit 
tighter than usual.

Submission for talks, papers, workshops, and other contributions are accepted through the 
GRCon'23 website:

https://events.gnuradio.org/event/21/abstracts/

This call for participation closes on 5 June 2022!

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. Watching the main track online and 
interacting with the audience and speakers via chat are free. Registration for the 
in-person event started in March.

GRCon'23 happens 5 – 9 September in Tempe, Arizona at ASU.

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 (last year's in-person attendance was around 200 
attendees), and the live video streams achieving 3900 views last year, there's a large 
responsibility to organize a smooth conference and offer an excellent in-person and remote 
experience.

As in previous years, we do not intend to push all these costs onto the attendees alone 
(this year's tickets are cheaper than last year!); instead, it has proven mutually 
advantageous 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/21/page/106-sponsorship-opportunities and reach out to 
sponsor@gnuradio.org .

Best regards, and: see you in person in Arizona or online in September,
Marcus
