Dear everyone,

We would like to update you on a number of aspects relating to the upcoming International Conference on Computational Creativity (ICCC 2017) http://computationalcreativity.net/iccc2017/ .

1. Statement

2. Extended submission deadline for papers, workshops and tutorials

3. Program Committee announcement

4. Call for bids to host ICCC 2018

Firstly, we would like to make the following statement:

The Eighth International Conference on Computational Creativity (ICCC 2017) to be held at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, USA on June 19-23, 2017 is an open international conference. Thus, the conference is open to all participants regardless of any demographic consideration. All proposals and papers submitted to the conference will be reviewed solely for their scholarly merit and relevance to the conference without any discrimination.

We stand together with the international research community, and value and welcome the participation of our international colleagues in ICCC 2017. The conference will publish its proceedings as usual. We will also live stream the main talks at the conference as usual. If international delegates have articles accepted for presentation at the conference but are unable to travel to Atlanta due to US travel restrictions, we will make arrangements for remote participation by these delegates. Please contact Ashok Goel, the conference chair at go...@cc.gatech.edu for any questions or concerns.

Secondly, following several requests for extensions, we have extended the deadline for the call for papers and the call for workshops and tutorials to March 3, 2017.
