CALL FOR SPONSORS

Classification and Data Science in the Digital Age, IFCS 2022, is the 17th conference of the International Federation of Classification Societies. It will take place in Porto, Portugal, on 19-23 July 2022, and aims to be the flagship biennial meeting spanning the interdisciplinary fields of Classification and Data Science and their applications in many different areas (e.g., health, industry, government, society). IFCS is the meeting point of many different scientific cultures. From the methodology point of view, IFCS 2022 spans all of the component fields of classification and data science, including statistics, probabilistic and mathematical modeling, machine learning, data mining, and knowledge discovery, complexity science, network science, business analytics, data management, infrastructure, and storage, retrieval and search, security, privacy, and ethics. On the applications side, IFCS 2022 aims both to show researchers important problems and issues that are revealed by real applications, and to show practitioners and users how the science can be applied to realize value.

In previous conferences, IFCS has attracted 200-250 researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government from across the world. The audience includes policymakers, entrepreneurs, chief data and analytics officers, leading professors and data scientists, talented young researchers/students and developers, and other thought leaders from major vendors, academia and government organizations.

Overall, this will consolidate sponsors’ branding opportunities and collaborations with academics in fundamental long-term research and practitioners in applied and actionable large-scale innovations. Acting as a sponsor of the conference, you will benefit from the top-level international community that an IFCS conference will attract, and from the experienced and globally recognized leading researchers of the Program Committee able to attract prominent experts from the Classification, Data Science and Machine Learning communities.

As in last conferences, IFCS2019 (Thessaloniki, Greece), IFCS2017 (Tokyo, Japan), IFCS2015 (Bologna, Italy), IFCS2013 (Tilburg, The Netherlands), IFCS2011 (Frankfurt, Germany), we are offering the opportunity to sponsor the conference and associated events.
