Financially and Technically Co-sponsored Events
In addition to our flagship events, the Society cosponsors dozens of other world-class events each year with various partner institutions and organizations. Some of the these, such as OFC and CLEO are financially co-sponsored, meaning the society shares ownership of the events with our partners. The Society also technically co-sponsors many conferences each year, sharing in the stewardship of the technical programs of these events and publishing the proceedings.
