Participation in AI by groups that are underrepresented in computer science
is a fraction of what is needed to have an AI workforce that reflects the
diversity in society. Diversity has many facets, including race, ethnicity,
gender, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic
status, cultural background, and geographic region.

We would like to invite submissions of proposals for activities that will
help broaden participation in the Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems
field. Activities can range from meetings for specific groups, to panels,
workshops to discuss the situation and propose changes, reports on outreach
activities, and more.  Please see examples of previous events at:
