    Regional Contest Cookbook About ACM ICPC Mission: ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) provides college students with opportunities to interact with students from other universities and to sharpen and demonstrate their problem-solving, programming, and teamwork skills. The contest provides a platform for ACM, industry, and academia to encourage and focus public attention on the next generation of computing professionals as they pursue excellence. About the Contest The ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) traces its roots to a competition held at Texas A&M in 1970 hosted by the Alpha Chapter of the UPE Computer Science Honor Society. The idea quickly gained popularity within the United States and Canada as an innovative initiative to challenge the top students in the emerging field of computer science. The contest evolved into a multi-tier competition with the first Finals held at the ACM Computer Science Conference in 1977. Operating under the auspices of ACM and headquartered at Baylor University since 1989, the contest has expanded into a global network of universities hosting regional competitions that advance teams to the ACM-ICPC World Finals. Since IBM became sponsor in 1997, the contest has increased by a factor of eight. Participation has grown to involve several tens of thousands of the finest students and faculty in computing disciplines at 1,821 universities from 83 countries on six continents. The contest fosters creativity, teamwork, and innovation in building new software programs, and enables students to test their ability to perform under pressure. Quite simply, it is the oldest, largest, and most prestigious programming contest in the world.

From the first day we started to plan for the 2009 World Finals we said “we want to show our beautiful city, we want the whole city to be our venue”. This is why you will live in the city center, right next to the water, you will walk around the city, along the water, you will travel to many places in the city, maybe even on water, and you will drink the clean water from the lake that cuts through the city, surrounding its islands, as it meets the Baltic Sea. When you wake up on Wednesday you will have been able to see Stockholm from many points of view. You will have experienced not only the water, but also the beautiful KTH Campus and maybe got a little of the Nobel spirit. All of us from the KTH organizing team deeply hope you will wake up on Wednesday and think “these days in Stockholm I will never forget”.
