The end of the USENIX Annual Technical Conference

On the 50th anniversary of the USENIX organization, its flagship Annual
Technical Conference (ATC) is coming
to an end.

For the past two decades, as more USENIX conferences have joined
the USENIX calendar by focusing on specific topics that grew out of
ATC itself, attendance at ATC has steadily decreased to the point
where there is no longer a critical mass of researchers and
practitioners joining us. Thus, after many years of experiments to
adapt this conference to the ever-changing tech landscape and
community, the USENIX Board of Directors has made the difficult
decision to sunset USENIX ATC.

Many important technologies first saw the light of day at this event.
