Q 15. Why do I have to contact ComSoc TCs?

In order for ComSoc to grant technical co-sponsorship, at least one of our Technical Committees must endorse the conference. The endorsement helps to ensure that the technical program falls within the TC’s scope, that there is a quality, independent peer review process for paper selection, and that at least three TC members will be directly and substantially involved in the activities of the Technical Program Committee. In order to identify the TC members who will serve on your TPC, a dialogue with the TC Chair is necessary. That conversation will garner the support of the TC which will be demonstrated by 3 of their members serving on the TPC. During the formal review of this application, the TC Chair(s) will be given the opportunity to officially endorse the conference based on this interaction with the Conference Organizing Committee.
