Attend SIGCSE 2015 in Kansas City, Missouri
at the Kansas City Convention Center
SIGCSE 2015 continues our long tradition of bringing together colleagues from around the world to present papers, panels, posters, special sessions, and workshops, (and new this year demos and lightning talks) and to discuss computer science education in birds-of-a-feather sessions and informal settings. The SIGCSE Technical Symposium addresses problems common among educators working to develop, implement and/or evaluate computing programs, curricula, and courses. The symposium provides a forum for sharing new ideas for syllabi, laboratories, and other elements of teaching and pedagogy, at all levels of instruction.

The support of many excellent sponsors and exhibitors help make SIGCSE the amazing conference that it is.
Sponsors make this conference possible. The best way to transform how we approach the teaching of computing is to bring people together to share best practices, be they design strategies for active learning or assessment strategies for education online.
Exhibitors are an essential part of the SIGCSE community. As we engage in questions of how best to bring computing to students around the world, exhibitors connect us to what resources exist for our students.
