ACM Conferences page has an up-to-date complete list while a partial list is shown below. Most of the SIGs also have an annual conference. ACM conferences are often very popular publishing venues and are therefore very competitive. For example, the 2007 SIGGRAPH conference attracted about 30000 visitors, and CIKM only accepted 15% of the long papers that were submitted in 2005. AIES: Conference on AI, Ethics, and Society ASPLOS: International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems CHI: Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems CIKM: Conference on Information and Knowledge Management COMPASS: International Conference on Computing and Sustainable Societies DAC: Design Automation Conference DEBS: Distributed Event Based Systems FAccT: Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency FCRC: Federated Computing Research Conference GECCO: Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference HT: Hypertext: Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia JCDL: Joint Conference on Digital Libraries MobiHoc: International Symposium on Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing SC: Supercomputing Conference SIGCOMM: ACM SIGCOMM Conference SIGCSE: SIGCSE Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education SIGGRAPH: International Conference on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques TAPIA: Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing Conference The ACM is a co–presenter and founding partner of the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (GHC) with the Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology. Some conferences are hosted by ACM student branches; this includes Reflections Projections, which is hosted by UIUC ACM. In addition, ACM sponsors regional conferences. Regional conferences facilitate increased opportunities for collaboration between nearby institutions and they are well attended. For additional non-ACM conferences, see this list of computer science conferences. Awards The ACM presents or co–presents a number of awards for outstanding technical and professional achievements and contributions in computer science and information technology. ACM A. M. Turing Award
