Key Points

A new undergraduate researcher is looking for IR (information retrieval) conferences to submit work, aiming for options that are less competitive than top venues like SIGIR or ECIR.
They found SIGIR-AP, which is associated with SIGIR and appears to be relatively new, potentially being only its 4th edition.
The user asks whether SIGIR-AP is a “good” conference for IR and what other conferences could be targeted with lower competitiveness.
The post is essentially a recommendation-seeking question from the perspective of someone planning their first submissions.

I'm a new researcher (undergrad) who's interested in IR. I've been looking at conferences to submit my work at, and while conferences like SIGIR, ECIR, etc. exist, I wanted so find good conferences a band or two lower that's not as competitive. That's when I came across SIGIR-AP, which seems to be backed by SIGIR but is super young (if it happens this year, it will be its 4th edition).

Is this a good conference? What other conferences can I target that's not super competitive?
