This interdisciplinary conference seeks to bring together researchers from a variety of fields relevant to understanding and designing collective intelligence of many types.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- human computation
- social computing
- crowdsourcing
- wisdom of crowds (e.g., prediction markets)
- group memory and extended cognition
- collective decision making and problem-solving
- participatory and deliberative democracy
- animal collective behavior

- computational models of group search and optimization
- emergence and evolution of intelligence
- new technologies for making groups smarter
CONFERENCE FORMAT
The conference will take place at MIT and consist of:
- Invited talks from prominent researchers in different areas related to collective intelligence such as engineering, psychology, management, political science, information science, and sociology
- Oral presentations (see below)
- Poster/Demo sessions (see below)
- “Ignite” sessions in which practitioners (e.g. policy makers) connect with researchers around collective-intelligence-based solutions to real-world problems
SUBMISSION
Submissions of two types are invited:
- Reports of original results results
-
Demonstrations of tools/technology
