Role and History

History

The IPC was established in 1997, before EPOMM, and consisted of experts of MM in Europe and North America, selected by the host city, as recommended by the former host city. They advised the organisers on the ECOMM and selected the papers to be presented. Meanwhile, EPOMM has taken up much of this function, but the IPC still plays an important role and is valuable as a rather informal expert network resource with considerable knowledge on MM developments in Europe.

Role

The IPC experts advise EPOMM on the content of the ECOMM, recommend Keynote Speakers and Impulse Speakers, grade the submitted abstracts and, when the have time, join for a final IPC-meeting at the beginning of each year to finally select the papers and fix most of the details of the conference programme.
