Organized since 2005, CEE-SECR is the key annual software event in Central and Eastern Europe that is regularly attended by over 500 participants from local industry. Our total reach is over 1 million software and IT people from CEE region (online + media coverage).

The conference was initially positioned as a Russian event; however, it attracted speakers from 20 countries and regular attendees from even more places, so in 2009 the conference was repositioned as a CEE event.

CEE-SECR Program Committee is assembled by recognized software engineering experts from academia and industry (including three Academicians from Estonian, Russian and Ukrainian national Academies of Sciences); over 40% of PC members are IEEE members.

The conference employs a double-blind review process producing a high quality program with acceptance rate about 35%.
