Dear Colleague, This is the second announcement of MC4BSM 2017, to be held at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park, CA, USA on May 11-13, 2017. MC4BSM is a series of workshops bringing together theorists and experimentalists with an interest in developing Monte Carlo programs to simulate collider signatures of Beyond the Standard Model physics, and in using such tools in phenomenological studies and in searches for new physics at energy frontier colliders. Since 2006, ten workshops have been held in this series, hosted in the USA, Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, Korea and China. The focus of MC4BSM 2017 will be: 1) to report new features and new developments of general-purpose Monte Carlo tools; 2) to discuss new directions in BSM model-building; 3) to discuss the experimental needs from the LHC, from dark matter experiments, and from physics studies of future colliders; 4) to offer tutorials to PhD students, postdocs, and young faculty interested in using Monte Carlo tools in their research. For further information please refer to the workshop website, where you can also find links to the previous editions of MC4BSM: http://www-conf.slac.stanford.edu/mc4bsm17/ MC4BSM 2017 will include a limited number of contributed talks. The organizers encourage the submission of abstracts for 15-minute presentations. In selecting the talks to be presented, we will give priority to attendees who are in the early stages of their career. We suggest participants to register and arrange for travel and accommodation as early as possible, especially if they need to obtain a Visa to enter the US. Since accommodation in the Silicon Valley can be very expensive, we also suggest to timely book a room at the Stanford guest house. We have a block reservation for participants to the workshop that expires on Feb 24. The workshop will be followed by an ATLAS Support Center Meeting on May 15-16. More information on this meeting can be found on the following website: https://atlas.slac.stanford.edu/events/2017-mc4bsm-satellite-meeting We look forward to your participation.
