The Seventeenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-01) was held in Seattle, Washington, from 6 to 10 August 2001. It was a stimulating blend of invited speakers, special events, 29 workshops, 20 tutorials, 3 robot competitions, 4 days of technical paper presentations, innovative applications, awards, and more. For the 1,509 attendees of the technical conference, and the additional 1,171 who came to see the exhibits, it was a time for catching up with old colleagues and meeting new. Besides tackling the heady research and engineering agenda that is AI, attendees still know how to have fun. The opening reception was held at the Boeing Museum of Flight, and the conference banquet took place at beautiful Blake Island's Tillicum Village and included a hearty salmon feast.
