We thank the team in Montreal for organizing WWW2016. We also extend many thanks to all 
the WWW2016 sponsors, who make this event possible. We are delighted to bring the conference 
series and the web community to Canada again – this time to share in the culture, the history 
and the food of the wonderful city of Montreal. I would also personally like to thank the  
general chairs – Jacqueline Bourdeau, Jim Hendler and Roger Nkambou – for all their hard 
work to make the conference happen. Having been one of the general chairs for WWW2006,  
I know how this sort of organisational effort takes over your life in the run up to the conference.
So now it’s over to you to make this the best conference yet. Enjoy the papers and the posters, 
the tracks and the panels, the workshops and the tutorials and everything else the conference 
has to offer.  But above all enjoy being part of the Web community and help shape it’s future
