India’s software industry has seen tremendous growth over the past decade. It is now a major hub of software activity employing hundreds of thousands of software engineers. As you explore this event there are two message we want you to carry away:

Message 1 - Location
Mysuru-Bengaluru provides an unmatched opportunity to connect with the emerging software engineering community in India.

The impact of your research is amplified through this exposure to a very large audience. Many engineers work for a fortune 500 company, located within a couple hours from Bengaluru-Mysuru. And ISSRE has been growing and attracting an even mix of academia and senior technical people from industry - fostering the critical dialog necessary for impact.

Message 2 - Cost
Given these difficult economic times, we are very sensitive to cost. Thanks to the generosity of Infosys, we will hold this at their residential training facilities in Mysuru, that accommodates a few thousand.

This eliminates several costs so we can bring this conference to you at low registration and accommodation rates. As a result, including air travel the total cost could be lower than that of many domestic conferences. Put it another way, if you have a great technical contribution, we want you at Mysuru, and we will work to make that happen. You fly into the Bengaluru international airport, and ride the conference coach a 100 miles to Mysuru.
