Welcome to KDD-2012: August 12-16, 2012 Beijing, China

The annual ACM SIGKDD conference is the premier international forum for data mining researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to share their ideas, research results and experiences. KDD-2012 will feature keynote presentations, oral paper presentations, poster sessions, workshops, tutorials, panel, exhibits, demonstrations, and the KDD Cup competition. KDD-2012 will also introduce a series of new programs, including a KDD summer school, an Asia-Pacific Track, a new video program and a post-conference company tour.

A grand theme of this year’s KDD conference is ‘Mining the Big Data.’ This is reflected in the topics of the newly introduced KDD Summer School, the Sunday tutorials and workshops, distinguished keynote talks, and numerous research papers, posters, exhibitors and demos. We also organize a panel that is dedicated to Big Data Mining. With the dawn of Big Data, the KDD-2012 conference sets the perfect stage to meet the grand challenges of science, engineering and practice.

Join us in KDD-2012, which will run from August 12-16 in Beijing, China with hundreds of practitioners and academic data miners converging on the one location.
