22 – 23 June 2016 / Pre-Sessions#IC2S2
Hosted by the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL USA
2016 2nd Annual International Conference on Computational Social Science
Discover, discuss, and collaborate at the intersection of data science and social science
Join a community of interdisciplinary researchers—academics, industry experts, open data activists, government agency workers, think tank analysts— to explore questions critical to the future of computational social science and the many disciplines and industries it may come to redefine.
IC2S2 event attendees are granted the option to select to participate in one of our Pre-Sessions, participating in either the Datathon on June 22-23, or the Skills Workshops on June 24.

IC2S2 2017
The 2017 International Conference on Computational Social Science will be held July 10-13 in Cologne, Germany.
2001 Sheridan Road, Evanston IL 60208
Two events, unified into one industry-leading conference
A collaborative field deserves a collaborative effort. IC2S2 2016 is the combination of two inaugural computational science conferences, the Computational Social Science Summit (last held May 15-17, 2015 in Evanston, Ill.) and the International Conference on Computational Social Science (last held June 8-11, 2015 in Helsinki, Finland).
