Dear AoIR-istas, Happy New Year! We are happy to announce that submissions for #AoIR2022 <https://aoir.org/aoir2022/> are now open! The conference will take place 2-5 November 2022 in Dublin, Ireland. At this stage, the 2022 AoIR conference is being planned as a Limited Hybrid Conference. The main conference will take place as a face-to-face event in Dublin. We are committed to enabling participation by as many AoIR members as possible at some level in this year’s conference. To this end, two of our core events will run in both face-to-face and online versions: the Doctoral Colloquium <https://aoir.org/aoir2022/subtypes/#doccoll> and the Early Career Researcher (ECR) event. Submissions <https://aoir.org/aoir2022/subtypes/> for both modes of the Doctoral Colloquium are open; as with our other preconferences, calls for participation in both modes of the ECR event will be distributed shortly after conference acceptance notifications. We also plan to provide online access for all AoIR members to our larger events (keynote, plenaries, and Annual General Meeting). Of course, we are mindful as we begin the third year of the pandemic that we cannot easily predict what the world will look like in November. We are hopeful that the latest COVID-19 variant will have largely been brought under control and that travel will be possible and desirable for some. We do not pretend that even in the best circumstances travel will be available to everyone, but our options are, in large part, dictated by event contracts signed prior to the pandemic (and which have already, generously, been rolled forward two years after our initial Dublin plans in 2020). We will be monitoring the global COVID-19 situation as the year progresses and if a face-to-face conference proves impossible, we will endeavour to provide an alternative option. Fingers crossed, we hope to see many of you in November. The 2022 conference welcomes contributions that address the theme of Decolonising the Internet. <https://aoir.org/aoir2022/aoir2022cfp/> To re-familiarize yourself with the call for proposals and types of submissions solicited, please see here: https://aoir.org/aoir2022/subtypes/. *Submissions deadline is 1 March 2022* for papers, panels, roundtables, fishbowls, experimental sessions, and pre-conference workshops. When submitting, please take the time to read the submission categories and topics carefully; this helps us match your submission to a suitable reviewer. To learn more about how submissions are reviewed, please see here: https://aoir.org/sub_review_info_aoir/. If accepted as a presenting author, you must register for the conference by the Early Bird deadline of 1 August 2022. Accepted paper and panel submissions will be included in our open access conference paper archive, Selected Papers of Internet Research (SPIR). SPIR helps us further publicize the work of our members and introduce our research to a wider audience. All paper and panel submissions must therefore follow our SPIR formatting requirements, which includes a consistent header and style format for the papers that will enable people to easily locate author and title information, and identify the papers as part of the AoIR conference. This format is only intended to bring consistency to basic elements (such as typeface and spacing), not to impose any disciplinary constraints. Please download and utilize the Word template here: https://aoir.org/aoir2022/subtemplate/. If you have any questions about the submission process, please email AoIRConfChair@aoir.org.
