Dear friends!

We're thrilled to invite you to the two great events which will be held in Turkey for the first time ever!

ICPC is delighted to announce the First National Programming Contest in Turkey, organized by inzva in collaboration with the Middle East Technical University (METU) to be held on September 13-15, 2019.

We’re inviting university teams across Turkey to participate in the national contest in Beykoz Kundura, Istanbul — completely free of charge — thanks to the ICPC local partner — inzva, a non-profit community focused on artificial intelligence and algorithm, supported by BEV — an Education Foundation for the Digital Native Generation.

Top ten teams qualifying in this contest can then participate in the Southerneastern Europe Regional Contest, and will be financially supported for this purpose. The winner teams of the Southern Europe Regional Contest are eligible to participate at the ICPC Moscow 2020 World Finals!

Also, this weekend on September 14 in Istanbul will be held the Annual ICPC Alumni Reunion Dinner.

It is the first ICPC Alumni event happening in Southeastern European Region, and we will be extremely honored to welcome you and your colleagues/classmates/coaches on this special day. Please feel free to extend this invitation to your guests.

ICPC Alumni Reunion Dinner will be held on Saturday, September 14, 2019, at Beykoz Shoe Factory, Yaliköy Mah. Süreyya İlmen Cad. No:1/1 Beykoz, Istanbul. There will be a reception that begins at 4pm, with dinner to follow at 5pm. Please feel free to extend this invitation to your guests.

In addition to this being a fun reunion for local ICPC participants, we will be recognizing the accomplishments of various ICPC volunteers who make the show happen each year. ICPC Executive Director Bill Poucher will be in attendance, and various other judges, staff, and coaches. We would be honored if you can make it as well, and partake in the festivities.

We are unfortunately unable to welcome all outside guests but have done our best to invite as many ICPC Alumni as possible, please feel free to extend this invitation to any other finalists/regional participants that you know to be in the area.
