The 36th ACM Hypertext conference will be held in Chicago, USA, from September 15-19, 2025. This year's theme, "The World as Hypertext," aims to bring together state-of-the-art technology, creativity, society, and scholarship through the lens of hypertext.
This year's conference includes the following tracks for paper submissions as a long or short research paper.
Track 1: Hyper-Systems
Infrastructure, Workflows, and Applications as Hypertext
Track 1 seeks submissions on hypertextual systems (including software, workflows, and data models) or hypertextual approaches to technology. Systems papers describing novel architectures, original algorithms, innovative uses of AI and social media, or applied hypertext technology in cultural heritage, education, games, or more.
Track 2: Hyper-Creation
Authorship, Media, and Readership as Hypertext
Track 2 focuses on the creation and consumption of hypertext and hypermedia. This includes design methods and best practices for creating hypertext, technology for creating hypertext, new forms of and approaches to hypertext, and understanding the impact of all of these things on the creative process, designers, developers, readers, users, and the hypertext itself.
Track 3: Hyper-Society
Communities, People, and Communication as Hypertext
Track 3 calls for submissions exploring the human aspect of hypertextual systems such as social media, as well as research on hypertextual structures and patterns in communities as well as the impact of hypertext on society.
Track 4: Hyper-Scholarship
Research, Philosophy, and Academia as Hypertext
Track 4 will be taking submissions on the impact of hypertext on scholarship and research, scholarly philosophies and ethics of hypertext, and new methodologies and research strategies in our community.

Workshops should create an informal framework for an innovative exchange of views, experiences, new ways to present ideas, promote the research community, and identify open problems and/or directions for future research. At the same time, they also provide a good opportunity for researchers and junior researchers to present their work and receive feedback from an interested community in an interactive and constructive atmosphere. Proposals are particularly appreciated on new topics related to the main topics of the conference, but may also include other (new) topics that may be of interest to the Hypertext community. There are no limits to creativity in workshop design at ACM Hypertext.
Submissions should be e-mailed to the track chairs (
