ACM Council voted in March on this transition plan for ACM Open (which kicks off on Jan 1, 2026) towards ensuring that our SIG doesn't lose people as we make the shift to open access.

Scott Delman, ACM Director of Publications, will join us for a Q&A about the transition.

📣 Reminder: Join us for a session on the transition to ACM Open - 100% open access - today, June 2, 7-8pm UTC! Find details at https://sigchi.org/events/open-session-on-acm-open/

🎉 Registration for #CUI2025 is now OPEN! 🎉

Find everything you need—registration, travel, venue, accommodation, visa & financial support—on our site.

@floe @chi @cscw @dis @ACM This is definitely on SIGCHI's radar. We're keeping a close eye and aiming to get data on conferences across SIGs and how they are being impacted. We will organize a virtual town hall shortly to facilitate more dialogue around this. We welcome all input!

@bwaber Not 0 but could definitely be a lot higher! Hopefully our special recognition program, new this year, will bring us to recognize many more!

@AndyDeardentsa This is done, thanks for catching this!

See our 2025 awards blog post (https://bit.ly/sigchiawards25) for more details. A big thank you to the awards committee for carefully reviewing nominations!
