SIGCHI Specialized Conferences
Overview
ACM SIGCHI Specialized Conferences are all conferences other than CHI that involve ACM SIGCHI as sponsor or co-sponsor, or are in-cooperation with another party. The ACM SIGs will consider cooperating with (lending their name to) conferences which are fully sponsored by other nonprofit incorporated organizations. This status is know as “in-cooperation ” and is appropriate when it will lead to enhanced visibility in the technical community, access to services of the sponsoring organization sometimes at reduced rates, and discounted rates for ACM/SIG members for conference registration and conference by-products.
Why request ACM SIGCHI sponsorship?
- All SIGCHI Specialized Conferences (either sponsored, co-sponsored or in-cooperation) benefit from full advertisement in appropriated ACM channels, including the magazine Interactions.
- ACM SIGCHI bears sole responsibility for promoting, organizing, providing the initial investment, and any financial risk and financial benefit associated with sponsored conference.
- ACM SIGCHI shares financial responsibility (including risks and benefits) for co-sponsored conferences with one or more other professional societies. ACM SIGCHI may or may not be the principal promoter and/or organizer of the conference.
- ACM SIGCHI can ensure the promotion of an in-cooperation conference but does not carry any financial risks or benefits, and does not take responsibility for the organization of the conference.
- Proceedings generated from conferences are automatically approved for ACM Digital Library inclusion. If the conference sponsor (or anyone else) holds copyright on the proceedings, permission needs to be given to ACM to include the proceedings in the Digital Library.
Roadmap for conference organizers
If you are organizing a conference you might consider getting support from ACM SIGCHI.
- To request the ACM SIG In-Cooperation status, fill in the Technical Meeting Request Forms (TMRF) available online. For further information, please refer to the ACM In-Cooperation guidelines.
- To request the ACM SIGCHI Sponsorship or co-sponsorship, first submit the Preliminary Approval Form (PAF) at least 24 month before the conference start. Once the PAF is approved, organizers should submit the Technical Meeting Request Forms (TMRF). Note that there are specific rules for conferences that have already received ACM SIGCHI sponsorship in the past. For further information please refer to the guidelines for organizing ACM conferences.
For general questions about ACM SIGs sponsorship, please contact incoop@acm.org.
