The annual ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing (SoCC’19) brings together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners interested in cloud computing. ACM SoCC’19 is the 10th edition of the premier conference on cloud computing; it is the only conference co-sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Groups on Management of Data (SIGMOD) and on Operating Systems (SIGOPS). SoCC will be held in Chaminade, Santa Cruz, California, to foster connections between the academic and industrial communities operating in the cloud space. 


The conference schedule includes a rich set of interesting papers, posters, keynotes, gong-show as well as celebration of SOCC’s 10-year anniversary. 


To promote community building, registration for SOCC’19 takes the form of packages that include the conference with lodging and food. The early-bird rates for those packages are heavily discounted. We also offer conference registration without lodging. 

Please note that space at the conference venue is limited.
