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.

The discipline is well situated to address pressing issues of our time by incorporating various scientific approaches. We welcome quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods research, including techniques from the social sciences and computer science as well as work involving data collection and research ethics. This year's keynote speakers are Dhiraj Murthy (Moody College) and David Rand (MIT). The hybrid event is being held in Austin, Texas, USA.

The Web Conference 2023, April 30 - May 4

The ACM Web Conference is an annual international academic conference on the topic of the future direction of the World Wide Web, co-located with the ACM Conference on Web Science. It will offer will offer a high quality program made of research sessions, posters and demonstrations, a PhD symposium for junior scholars, workshops, tutorials, a developers track for practitioners, panels, a special track on web for good, and co-located special days. Keynote speakers include 2022 A.M Turing Award recipient Bob Metcalfe (MIT), Barbara Poblete (University of Chile), and others. The event will be held in Austin, Texas, USA with virtual components including live streaming of ceremonies and keynotes, access to pre-recorded videos of talks, and more.

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.

HLF 2022, Sept. 18 - 23: Watch the Livestream

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. 22 ACM A.M. Turing Award and ACM Prize in Computing recipients will participate this year. Watch the livestream on the HLF website.

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.
