[Demo Stations; Poster sessions; Freestyle Q&A; chat with anyone] Hello everyone,
We are happy to announce that we will have the "Computer Go Afternoon" event in the US Go Congress <http://www.gocongress.org/> in Boston this summer. It will be arranged on Thursday, August 4th, 2016, from 2pm - 5pm. We will have a dedicated large meeting room + hallway demo/poster stations + white board + boards/stones for computer go developers. This is: - A salon for devs to meet each other in person, hangout and talk. - An opportunity to ask questions and share pains about corner cases, parameter selections, or other random technical details with experts and colleagues. - A stage to show-off your Go related projects. It can be *any* interesting projects other than playing bots. - A chance to test your program against curious real players in any strength. You can find your potential test engineer with pro strength too. This is Not: - A bot competition. - An academic conference. - A chance to revenge to another dev in real game if your program is weaker. The afternoon will be more about connecting people. We hope everyone will enjoy. We already have confirmed attendance from the AlphaGo team. We are working on confirming attendance with some other teams, I will update on this thread with better information along the way. You can sign up for USGC now (register at www.gocongress.org) then send me your abstracts (or ads with pics, or videos) later. If I get your material before 6/30, I can manage to advertise it before the congress opens. This year's USGC also features keynote speech at the opening ceremony, Saturday(7/30) evening, by Aja Huang and Fan Hui from the AlphaGo team. Email me if you have any questions. Thank you, and hope to see you this summer in Boston. Chun Sun co-Director, USGC 2016
