-----
The annual SIGIR-AP conference is an annual ACM-sponsored international forum that promotes and disseminates information retrieval research and development within the Asia-Pacific region. The 2nd ACM SIGIR-AP conference (SIGIR-AP 2024) will be held in Tokyo from the 9th to the 12th of December 2024.

SIGIR-AP 2024 is looking for proposals for tutorials that explore topics relevant to information retrieval and its practical uses. Each tutorial should focus deeply on a single subject. For example, tutorials might cover well-established areas of information retrieval, introduce new applications of retrieval technologies, or provide updates on recent advances in related fields.

Tutorial proposals should be prepared in the current ACM two-column conference format. Suitable LaTeX, Word, and Overleaf templates are available from the ACM Website (use the “sigconf” proceedings template).

Proposals should be submitted in PDF through the EasyChair system (Tutorial track): https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sigirap2024

The organizers of accepted tutorials will be invited to submit a four-page summary of the tutorial, to be included in the conference proceedings.
