IPDPS 2016 COMMUNITY SUMMIT<br>
On Wednesday, May 25th at 4:00 PM, the IPDPS Steering Committee will host a Community Summit at IPDPS 2016 in Chicago. We hope you will be able to attend and participate. If not, we have set up a way to collect comments from the whole community prior to the
Summit on May 25th.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">BACKGROUND<br>
Our goal is, of course, to make IPDPS the premier broad-based conference for research in the dynamic field of Parallel and Distributed Computing and to also find ways to make sure every attendee leaves the conference stimulated and enriched, every volunteer
feels like a valued contributor, and every author feels energized by audience participation and interaction.<br>
<br>
WHAT WE NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU<br>
Your input will be invaluable to this effort, so please take the opportunity to tell us things you think we need to know about what is good in the current format of IPDPS and what needs improvement. Even better, if you are able to attend the Summit, we will
have a chance for the whole assemblage to hear your ideas and others comments. Your input together with the Summit on the 25th will help launch initiatives for growth and improvement, and we will plan to "summit" again in 2017 to see where things stand and
what we learned and what actions we have taken.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
