We are pleased to announce that the 2017 IEEE Conference on Evolutionary 
Computation (www.cec2017.org) will be held in San Sebastian, Spain, in 
June 5-8, 2017.


IEEE CEC  is a world-class conference that aims to bring together 
researchers and practitioners in the field of evolutionary computation 
and computational intelligence from all around the globe. Technical 
exchanges within the research community will encompass keynote lectures, 
regular and special sessions, tutorials, and competitions as well as 
poster presentations. In addition, participants will be treated to a 
series of social functions, receptions, and networking to establish new 
connections and foster everlasting friendship among fellow counterparts.

Donostia/San Sebastian is a coastal medium-size city located in northern 
Spain, 20km from the border with France. It stands as an amphitheatre 
over-looking the sea. It is known the world over for its spectacular bay 
and is referred to as the Pearl of the Cantabrian Sea. It is also 
internationally renowned for being a culinary haven where visitors will 
find more Michelin stars per square meter than in any other city in the 
world. The conference will take place at the Kursaal Convention Center 
and Auditorium. Kursaal is located in the city center, overlooking the 
seafront. This avant-garde architectural showpiece was designed by 
Rafael Moneo  and won the Mies van der Rohe prize for the best building 
in Europe in 2001. The main hotels, restaurants and shopping areas are 
within walking distance.
