The steering committee for ACM COSN is now looking for location proposals to host the next iteration of the ACM Conference on Online Social Networks.  COSN 2013 was a highly successful event that brought together experts from diverse fields interested in cutting edge research on social networks and systems.  It was held in October 2013 on the Northeastern University campus in Boston, MA.  We are now soliciting proposals to host COSN in 2014!

Please send any proposals as a plain text/HTML/PDF document to ravenben @ cs.ucsb.edu before the deadline of December 1, 2013.  A proposal should include information on the following:

1. Why do you want to host COSN?  (a short paragraph will be fine, 200 words or less please)
   
2. Where?  Details on the actual venue where COSN would be held, hotel, university campus, research lab...
   
3. Who will be the general chair and who will serve as local arrangement chair(s)?
   
4. Where is the nearest airport, and what is the approximate cost to get there from:
1. US East coast, US West coast
2. Europe
3. Asia
   
5. What are the nearby hotels, and expected room rates per night?
   
6. If the venue is a hotel, does COSN need to book a block of rooms?

Once the deadline for proposals passes, the steering committee will choose the site for COSN'14 and inform proposers of the decision.
