ACM Open Conference Statement

The open exchange of ideas and the freedom of thought and expression are central to the aims and goals of ACM and its conferences.  These aims and goals require an environment that recognizes the inherent worth of every person and group, that fosters dignity, understanding, and mutual respect, and that embraces diversity.
 
ACM is firmly committed to prohibiting discrimination at its conferences against individuals because of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, marital status religion, national origin, ancestry, or disability.  All individuals are entitled to participate in any ACM activity free of discrimination, including harassment based on any of the above factors.

ACM is concerned about discriminatory legislation in various locations and will work with conference organizers to best address location related issues.

The event will be held in Washington, DC, USA.

UbiComp 2022, Sept. 11 - 15

The 2022 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing will feature workshops on mental health, computing for well-being, technologies for education and learning, physical- and data-driven knowloedge, and more. This year UbiComp will again be collocated with the ACM International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC), with shared workshops and tutorials. This event will be held in-person and will be held concurrently in Atlanta, Georgia, USA and Cambridge, UK, with a virtual workshop on Sept. 11.

HLF 2022, September 18 - 23

The 9th Heidelberg Laureate Forum will offer young researchers and other participants the opportunity to connect with scientific pioneers and learn how the laureates made it to the top of their fields. Some of the brightest minds in mathematics and computer science will come together for unrestrained, interdisciplinary exchange. We hope that the 9th HLF will be able to take place in its traditional format onsite in Heidelberg.

ACM President Vicki L. Hanson and Turing Laureate Leslie Lamport at HLF

RecSys 2022, Sept. 18 - 23

The 16th ACM Conference on Recommender Systems will be a hybrid event held in Seattle, Washington, USA. Workshops and tutorials will cover topics including neural re-ranking, knowledge graphs, training and deployment, reinforcement learning, causality, human resources, counterfactuals and sequentials decision-making, and much more. Keynote speakers will be Catherine D’Ignazio (MIT) and Mor Naaman (Cornell Tech).

ICN 2022, Sept. 19 - 21

The goal of the 9th ACM Conference on Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is to provide accessing named data as a principal network service, with design efforts addressing the challenges that arise from the increasing demands for highly scalable content distribution. The conference will on current ICN research topics, featuring paper presentations and demonstrations. This event will be held in hybrid mode from in Osaka, Japan.

MobileHCI 2022, Sept. 28 - Oct. 1

The ACM International Conference on Mobile Human-Computer Interaction is the leading academic conference in human–computer interaction and is sponsored by ACM SIGCHI, the Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction. This year's program includes sessions and workshops including Input and Interaction, Understanding People and Robots, Augmenting Your Reality, Monitoring People, and many more. The conference will be held in Vancouver, Canada.

womENcourage 2022, September 21 - 23

The 9th ACM Celebration of Women in Computing: womENcourage 2022 recognises that both the Arts and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) share a focus on creative thinking, problem-solving and experiential, immersive learning, exploriing the ways in which the Arts relate to STEM, often referred to as STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics). This event will be held in Larnaka, Cyprus, with the option of delivering presentations online

FCRC 2023, June 16 - 23

The 2023 Federated Computing Research Conference will assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences and workshops into a week-long, co-located, meeting in Orlando, Florida, USA. This model retains the advantages of the smaller conferences while facilitating communication among researchers in different fields of computer science and engineering. To the extent facilities allow, attendees are free to attend technical sessions of other affiliated conferences co-located with their "home" conference. For more information as well as a list of participating conferences, visit the website.

AI for Good Global Summit 2021 (online), continuous digital event

The 2021 edition of the AI for Good Global Summit is a continuous digital event, featuring weekly programming across multiple formats, platforms and time zones, including keynotes, expert webinars, project pitches, Q&As, performances, demos, interviews, networking and more. Upcoming highlights include presentations on AI and climate science, health, and data, and a keynote on "The EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act: How will it impact your life and business?"

Virtual Conferences: A Guide to Best Practices

In March 2020 ACM formed a Presidential Task Force (PTF) to help conference organizers transition their events to online. The PTF is working on a guide to offer practical advice and shed light on the largely unfamiliar territory of online conferencing.

The report, available here, includes pointers to a live document with additional resources. We welcome comments, suggestions and experience reports from the community.
