CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Internet Measurement Conference 2006 Sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM and in cooperation with USENIX October 25-27, 2006 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil http://www.imconf.net/imc-2006/
The 2006 Internet Measurement Conference is a two and a half day event focusing on Internet measurement and analysis, following on the successes of five previous Internet Measurement Workshops and Conferences.
The conference will be held in the Marina Palace Hotel located on Leblon Beach in Leblon, one of the most traditional and charming parts of Rio. The beautiful Ipanema and Copacabana beaches are also nearby.
The conference reception will be at Rio Scenarium - Culture Pavillion, a 19th-century building located in the culturally rich Lapa District. The conference banquet will be at Barra Brasa Rio, which is within walking distance of the hotel.
Registration and local arrangements information can be found at the conference website http://www.imconf.net/imc-2006/

IMPORTANT NOTES If you anticipate attending, you should book your hotel room ASAP because other cultural events in Rio at the same time will make hotel accommodations scarce..
Many attendees will need a visa to enter Brazil. Visas are required for citizens of the USA, China, India, and others. Citizens of most European countries do not require a visa. Additional information as well instructions for obtaining a visa can be found on the conference website.
