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.
