Microsoft is proud to once again sponsor the SIGCOMM—the flagship annual conference of the ACM Special Interest Group on Data Communication, which covers the applications, technologies, architectures, and protocols for computer communication.
As part of our unmatched track record of supporting our academic peers and research events, Microsoft has sponsored SIGCOMM for 20 out of the last 21 years. We hope to meet many of you at this year’s conference in Los Angeles, California, United States.
