IPDPS 2016 will be held in Chicago, the third largest metropolis in the USA. It boasts a dual-hub airport system and 46 non-stop global flights daily. Situated along the shoreline of Lake Michigan, downtown Chicago (aka the Loop), where the Hyatt Regency is located, is an easy walk or cab ride to the attractions the city offers, including parks, beaches, shopping, museums, live entertainment, and the singular international cuisine of Chicago's diverse ethnic neighborhood eateries. Check the IPDPS Web pages for updates and information on workshops, the PhD Forum, and other events as the full program develops.
