The ACM Web Conference Steering Committee invites academic and research institutions to submit an initial Expression of Interest (EOI) to host the annual ACM Web Conference 2029. EOI from the Asian region are more than welcome even though this call is globally open.

Requirements for the Expression of Interest (EOI)

To streamline the preliminary bidding phase, the Committee has simplified the process to emphasize the core vision and the strength of the leadership team. Detailed venue contracts or comprehensive budgets are not required at this stage. The EOI (4‑6 pages) should include the following components:

Host City and Venue

Provide a concise description of the proposed location, including accessibility via international air travel, the local web research and innovation ecosystem (public and private), the range of accommodation options, and the suitability of the potential venue (e.g., convention center, hotel, or university campus). The proposed venue must be capable of hosting 800–1,200 participants and must offer high‑quality internet connectivity and accessible infrastructure. 

Proposed Leadership

Identify the General Chairs. At least one lead chair must be affiliated with a not‑for‑profit academic or research institution, hold a valid ACM membership, and have prior experience with the Web Conference series as well as other major ACM events.

Institutional Support

Include preliminary indications of support from your home institution and potential collaborations with local industry or government stakeholders. 

Eligibility and Commitment

The hosting organization must be a non-profit academic or research entity. Organizers must commit to:

  • adhering to the Steering Committee’s best practices and deadlines, and
  • operating within the ACM SIGWeb financial and governance framework.

Timeline

  • EOI Deadline: 2026 June 1st
  • Shortlist Notification: July 2026
  • Full Proposal: January 2027
  • Defense before the committee during the 2027 edition in Dublin May 10–14.

Contact

EOIs should be submitted before June 1st to Laurent Flory at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

The ACM Web Conference Steering Committee is pleased to announce the details of the WebConf series for 2028.

Key Dates:

- Full Papers: April 21, 2026
- Short Papers & Demos: June 9, 2026
- Conference: August 25-28, 2026

We also welcome demonstration and competition proposals.

Call for Blue Sky Papers – CCC-Sponsored Travel Grants

Chicago, USA, September 15-19, 2025

In cooperation with the Computing Community Consortium (CCC, https://cra.org/ccc/), we invite submissions to a special “Blue Sky Ideas” track. The emphasis of this track will be on visionary ideas, long term challenges, and opportunities in research that are outside the current mainstream topics of the field. We want to overcome the constraints of the traditional review process by incubating innovative approaches, risky and provocative ideas, and propose challenges and opportunities in the near future. We are particularly excited about ideas that address the conference theme of “The World as Hypertext.”
 
To encourage researchers to present truly visionary concepts, the CCC is offering prizes for up to 3 top papers in this special track: first prize $1000, second prize $750, and third prize $500, to be awarded as travel grants. Submissions will be judged on the extent to which they expand the possibilities and horizons of the field or challenge existing assumptions prevalent in the field.
 
Format: Submissions must be anonymous, given that ACM HT uses a double-blind review process. Submissions to this track should follow the same ACM double-column format as submissions to the main research tracks, but are limited to 4 pages, with 1 additional page for references. Submissions will be reviewed by a dedicated panel of senior researchers, and based on these reviews may be accepted as talks at the conference. Papers will be archived in the ACM Digital Library.
 
Important Dates (AoE)
June 6, 2025 – Paper submission
July 4, 2025 – Notification of paper acceptance
July 18, 2025 – Camera-ready submission
 
Important note on attendance: Due to recent travel advisories from some countries, the organizing committee has decided to shift the conference to a hybrid format, allowing for remote presentations if the presenters have difficulties with travel restrictions or VISA applications.
 

For submission guidelines and more information, please refer to the official website of the conference: https://ht.acm.org/ht2025

The 25th ACM Symposium on Document Engineering (DocEng'25) seeks original research papers that focus on the design, implementation, development, management, use and evaluation of advanced systems where document and document collections play a key role. DocEng emphasises innovative approaches to document engineering technology, use of documents and document collections in real world applications, novel principles, tools and processes that improve our ability to create, manage, maintain, share, and productively use these. Attendees at this international forum have interests that span all aspects of document engineering and applications.

In addition, DocEng'25 particularly welcomes contributions to the theme of Document Trust and Security.
