A missing year does not mean the conference did not meet: coverage before 2015 has not been verified.

Scaled to this conference's own busiest year (62), so the shape is comparable across its editions but not between conferences.

Who led each edition

Chairs and invited speakers

all 2 62% of 8
2027 3 of 6
2021 2 of 2

Across 2 editions, 5 of 8 chairs and invited speakers were women or of another gender — 62%. At this site's own rate of 29%, 2 would be the expectation.

Only editions with counted people appear: an edition recorded as mixed and nothing more has no arithmetic behind it, and 1 of them is left out on that ground. The total counts people, not years, so an edition with eight chairs weighs more than one with two. The committee is reported beside the platform, never added to it. The rate this is set against, 29%, is pooled from 362 chairs and invited speakers across 81 editions on this site — an observation about the field as recorded here, not a target.

Anonymity

A blank cell means nobody has checked that year, not that the answer is no. Licences are read as recorded on the edition, never inherited from the publisher.

An edition counts as firm only when it was checked; a deadline with no earlier date recorded is counted as not known, not as firm.

Data entirely hand-typed, one call for papers at a time. There is no scraper behind any of this: I read the call for papers and/or the Web sites and type the dates in, in the gaps between other work, and with the hope it is useful to others. Organisers might then move deadlines without telling anyone, which may lead to inconsistencies. So, treat this small page as a well-meaning notebook rather than an authority 🤓
