              interested in cloud computing. SoCC is co-sponsored by the

        <p><b>With the exciting <a href="schedule.html">schedule</a> of 
        papers, keynotes, posters, and panels, and plenty of opportunities to interact,
        we are confident that SoCC will be a great event, with the potential
        to reach even more people around the world, and continue
        to connect academics, researchers, and industry around cloud
        computing.</b>

          <p> The ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing 2020 (SoCC '20) acknowledges and values all dimensions of diversity by 
              cultivating an environment built on tolerance and mutual respect. We actively promote inclusion in every aspect 
              of the symposium including but not limited to organization and program committees and conference activities. 
              We encourage the participation of all individuals regardless of age, gender, gender identity, race, cultural 
              background, religion, physical and mental ability, sexual orientation, parental and marital status, etc. 
              We actively denounce and combat prejudice and stereotyping, and will follow the
