ITCS is a yearly conference in Theoretical Computer Science that seeks to promote research that carries a strong conceptual message (e.g., introducing a new concept or model, opening a new line of inquiry within traditional or cross-disciplinary areas, or introducing novel techniques or novel applications of known techniques).
The ITCS conference series was initiated by Andy Yao in 2010. Initially called Innovations in Computer Science (ICS), the first two installments of the series took place in 2010 and 2011 at Tsinghua University in Beijing. The conference adopted its current name of Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science (ITCS) in 2012, when it was held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA. Since then it has been organized at different locations; below is the full list.
