 Request for Proposal — Bid on IUI 2015

Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI) is the premier conference series
sponsored by ACM (SIGCHI and SIGART), held annually as the principal
international forum for reporting outstanding research and development
on intelligent user interfaces since 1997.

To involve the greater IUI community in conference organization and
better plan for the conference, we request proposals for hosting and
organizing IUI two years ahead of time. We regularly rotate the
conference locations to engage with IUI research communities around
the globe. Below shows the location and time of the last three IUIs:
IUI 2011
Palo Alto, CA, USA
Feb. 13 – 16	IUI 2012
Lisbon, Portugal
Feb. 14 – 17	IUI 2013
Santa Monica, CA, USA
March 19 – 22

Why host IUI?
There are several benefits of hosting and organizing an IUI
conference. First, conference hosts/organizers have an opportunity to
publicize their work, build relationships, and interact with the
international IUI community. Second, this is a great opportunity for
the organizers/hosts to introduce their students and colleagues to the
IUI community and help grow the community as a whole. Third,
hosts/organizers can use the opportunity to build local IUI
communities, connecting representatives from both academia and
industries.

Bid Requirements
All proposals must be written in English on 8-1/2 by 11 inch or A4
paper with type not smaller than 12 point and margins not less than
one inch on all sides. The proposal should address each aspect
outlined below but not exceed 5 pages. Based on the merits of the
proposals, the board will choose the top candidates, which will be
requested to present their bid at IUI 2013. The final winner will then
be selected by the conference attendees and announced at the end of
IUI 2013.
Location
Since IUI is an international forum, we expect that attendees travel
from different parts of the world to the conference location. It is
important that the proposed location is conveniently located for all
attendees to reach by available means of transportation. By the IUI
location rotation policy, the proposed location of IUI 2015 must be in
America.
Time
IUI conferences have been held at various times during late winter
through early spring, around the end of January through March. Your
bid should include a proposed time within that range with key dates
(e.g., paper submission and notification).  The choice of time should
also take into account the weather conditions of the proposed location
to avoid potential weather-caused travel delays and potential
conflicts with other conferences (e.g., CHI 2015 paper deadline and
CSCW 2015 conference dates).

Conference Venue
Please describe the proposed conference venue from the following aspects.
•	Capacity.  The main IUI is a single-track conference, typically with
around 250 attendees. IUI officially includes four days with the
workshops and tutorials on its first day, which need to be hosted in
separate rooms (10-20 people) in parallel. To encourage interaction
among the attendees, during the main conference, it is also desirable
to have additional space at the venue to put up IUI posters for the
attendees to visit during coffee breaks.
•	Facilities. The venue should provide basic conference facilities,
such as internet access and LCD projectors.
•	Location. The venue should be centrally located for attendees to
reach quickly by ground transportation and have access to other
amenities (e.g., restaurants).
•	Reception and poster session dinner. Traditionally, IUI will open
with a reception on the night before the 1st day of the conference and
hold a dinner reception with the poster session on the second night of
the conference. While the location(s) of the reception and dinner are
not required to be co-located with the venue, the above location
criterion still should be used to minimize the travel for the
attendees.
Accommodation
Most attendees will need accommodation during the conference period.
One of the responsibilities of the conference hosts/organizers is to
locate and reserve a bulk of affordable lodging for attendees. Please
describe the proposed accommodation options, including the price range
of the hotel rooms and the distance to the main venue.
Provisionary Budget Plan
The proposal should also include a provisionary budget plan, outlining
the cost of major items, including the rental of conference venue,
cost/per person for the reception and banquet, and the estimated
conference registration fee.
Hosts/Organizers
Conference hosts/organizers should have knowledge of the IUI community
(e.g., having attended the last two IUI conferences) and experience
with conference organization. Please include short bios of the
hosts/organizers and roles of individuals, in particular, the
conference chair(s) and program chairs. One of IUI goals is to bring
together people from different organizations or with different
background, including representatives with diverse background is
highly encouraged.

Important Dates
December 30th, 2012: bids are due.
Jan 30th, 2013: notifications sent and top-3 candidates are selected.
March, 2013:  Top-3 selected candidates will make a presentation at
IUI 2013.  The final winner will be decided at the conference.
