Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Innovative approaches used in deployed systems and products.
• We also encourage talk proposals from small companies, especially startups or spin-offs from either a university project or a large company.
• System design case-studies from industry practitioners, identifying best practices and design principles for learning systems, scalability aspects
• Talks discussing domain specific challenges are also welcome.
• Metrics and measurement techniques used at scale to understand performance of industrial systems
• Talks creating a connection with academia to solve interesting problems, including talk proposals from academics spending time in industry, or vice-versa, covering insights for other practitioners

Talks may address challenges, solutions, and case studies of interesting and innovative systems, and ideas in areas pertaining to above topics..

Industry authors are invited to submit talk proposals. Industry-academia talk proposals are eligible. The authors of accepted proposals will be invited to submit a 2-pages camera ready paper.

Each presentation will be 20-30 minutes long including Q&A. Submissions should include:

• Title and abstract
• Speaker's bio
• Relevancy to above themes and CIKM topics
• (optional, but strongly recommended) Links to video of previous technical talks given by the speaker. In case no such recordings exist, we encourage the speaker to make a recording of a part of the proposed talk for the purpose of this submission.
• CIKM is a technical conference, so preference will be given to talks describing applied research and technical challenges rather than product presentations.
• Please specify your availability if your submission is accepted.
