Is it too early to know approximately when/where ROSCon will be held in 2018? I would like to attend and need to get some basic info entered to start our corporate approval process…

Not yet, unfortunately… unless your company is happy with “it won’t be where we’ve had it in the past”

Not guaranteed but ROSCon usually piggybacks onto IROS

It looks like iROS is set for Sept. 1-5, 2018, in Madrid. Any ideas when ROSCon will be scheduled?

Thanks for your interest in ROSCon 2018! We are researching locations and dates now. Collocation with IROS in Madrid is one of the options that we’re seriously considering. We’ll let you all know as soon as we have the time and place confirmed. Last year this happened in [early February](https://www.osrfoundation.org/save-the-date-roscon-2017-in-vancouver-sep-21-22/).
