Hosting
The Steering Committee is looking for hosts for NIME 2022 and later. Previous conferences have usually been hosted by one institution (or a few geographically close ones). NIME 2020 was fully online, 2021 is planned as hybrid (physical+online). The Steering Committee is particularly interested in exploring a hub-based conference format in 2022.
To succeed with a hub-based conference format, we would need to think differently about the organization. We are particularly encouraging collaboration between individuals and/or institutions around the world.
If you are interested in hosting NIME, please get in touch with the Steering Committee (steering(æ)nime.org) or the Chair.
Deadline
Please get in touch as soon as possible to discus your ideas with the Steering Committee. Deadline for submitting a formal proposal: 15 January 2021.
