*PLEASE CIRCULATE WIDELY*



The MEI Board invites proposals for the organization of the 10th edition of
the annual *Music Encoding Conference*, to be held in *2022*.



As many of you are aware, among its activities MEI oversees the
organization of an annual conference, the Music Encoding Conference (MEC),
to provide a meeting place for scholars interested in discussing the
modeling, generation and uses of music encoding. While the conference has
an emphasis on the development and uses of MEI, other contributions related
to general approaches to music encoding are always welcome, as an
opportunity for exchange between scholars from various research
communities, including technologists, librarians, historians, and theorists.



In order to assist prospective organizers, the MEI Board has published Hosting
Guidelinesfor the Music Encoding Conference
<https://music-encoding.org/conference/hosting-guidelines.html>.
Historically, the conference has been organized by institutions involved in
MEI, such as MEI member institutions or those hosting MEI-based projects,
but proposals from any interested group or institution will be happily
received, and ideas other than those expressed in the official document are
welcome.  While MEC venues have alternated between Europe and North America
in the past, there is no such requirement, so applications from anywhere
are invited.



The deadline for sending proposals is *Sunday, 29 March **2020*.The Board
will notify bidders of its decision in late April, and we will jointly
inform the MEI community through MEI-L thereafter. Successful bidders
should be prepared to make a short presentation at the upcoming MEC in
Boston, 26-29 May 2020.



The MEI Board is happy to discuss proposals at an early stage already.
Please direct all proposals and inquiries to info at music-encoding.org



On behalf of the MEI Board, best wishes,
