Rossfest Symposium in memory of Ross Anderson

Cambridge, UK – 25 March 2025

Registration

Attendance at the Rossfest Symposium requires registration, whichever option you select. Note the respective deadlines (at 23:00 UTC+0 on the indicated date), which differ by option. Registrations may close earlier if the respective capacities are reached.

The Rossfest Symposium is a full day event, held at the Department of Computer Science and Technology aka the Computer Laboratory (CB3 0FD). The optional evening banquet is at Trinity College Cambridge (CB2 1TQ).

Lunch, and tea/coffee breaks between the presentations, at the Department, are subsidised thanks to generous support from the Department, the University of Hertfordshire and Google DeepMind. The evening banquet at Trinity College is not subsidised and attracts a charge. So do the commemorative T-shirt and the printed copy of the Festschrift book.

The dress code for the evening banquet is formal, but open to interpretation. Turn up in black tie and gown if you fancy, or anything else that you feel makes you look smart.

A complete PDF of the book will be available for download from this site at no charge. It will also be possible to buy the volume after the event through print-on-demand, for a similar price plus shipping.

The T-shirt, however, will not be available anywhere else unless preordered.

The T-shirt can be ordered in male or female versions, with the sizes listed in the following slightly mysterious manufacturer-supplied tables:
