“The Long Beach Convention Center and surrounding hotels would be a great fit for CVPR and co-locating ICML. The convention center has adequate space and could easily accommodate our needs.

I have worked with LBCC staff to hold on June 15- 21, 2019 for CVPR and June 8- 14, 2019 for ICML on a second option basis*.”

---- Nicole Finn, Event Manager

* Second option basis means: if we win the bid for CVPR2019 and areready to sign contract officially, LBCC will give the other group 24 hours tosign a contract if the date happens to be reserved by other group in the period from now to our decision time.

We have contacted LBCC & ICML !
