# Federated Computing Research Conference

The Federated Computing Research Conference, FCRC, is an event that brings together several academic conferences, workshops, and plenary talks in the field of computer science. FCRC has been organized and held in the United States in 1993, 1996, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2023. The 2023 event was held in Orlando, Florida.
In the first FCRC, the main organiser was the Computing Research Association; since then, the Association for Computing Machinery has taken the lead in organising the event.
The Turing Award 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010, and 2014 recipients gave plenary talks in FCRC 1999, 2003, 2007, 2011, and 2015. Other plenary speakers in FCRC include László Babai, Charles Bennett, Randal Bryant, Bob Colwell, David Culler, Cynthia Dwork, Shafi Goldwasser, Michael J. Flynn, Hector Garcia-Molina, John L. Hennessy, Torsten Hoefler, Richard Karp, Randy Katz, Ken Kennedy, James Kurose, Ed Lazowska, Barbara Liskov, Robin Milner, Charles R. (Chuck) Moore, Christos Papadimitriou, Michael Rabin, Scott Shenker, Burton Smith, Guy L. Steele Jr., Avi Wigderson, Maurice Wilkes, William A. Wulf.
