CSCW 2026 — ACM Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing

CSCW 2026, the ACM Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing, runs 10-14 October 2026 at the Marriott City Creek Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. Organisers describe CSCW as the leading forum for exploring how technology supports group work and social interaction, addressing the technical, social, material and theoretical challenges of designing technology to support collaborative work and life activities — which in practice now makes it one of the main venues for empirical research on how AI assistants change teams, workflows and accountability inside organisations. The programme spans Papers, Posters, Workshops, Demonstrations, Panels and SIGs, a Doctoral Consortium and an Industry Perspectives track, plus a separately priced Online Remote Presentation Day. Notion sponsors at gold and Google DeepMind at silver.

Most of what an executive hears about AI and productivity is either a vendor benchmark or an anecdote. CSCW is where the field studies get published — what actually happened to a team's coordination, error rate and accountability after an assistant was introduced, measured rather than surveyed. For a CIO or a future-of-work lead, that evidence is directly usable in a rollout decision or a board conversation, and the Industry Perspectives track means half the room has already run the deployment you are contemplating. The Online Remote Presentation Day makes it cheap to extend the content to a wider team.

• ✓Papers track
• ✓Posters track
• ✓Workshops (base fee plus per-workshop pricing)
• ✓Demonstrations track
• ✓Panels and SIGs
• ✓Doctoral Consortium
• ✓Industry Perspectives track
• ✓Online Remote Presentation Day
• ✓Job fair, included with the companion pass

• ★The Industry Perspectives track is a formal part of the CFP, so practitioner experience is peer-reviewed content rather than a sponsored slot
• ★CSCW's method base is empirical and qualitative — field studies of real teams — which answers questions about AI adoption that benchmark-driven venues structurally cannot
• ★Notion at gold and Google DeepMind at silver: the companies building collaborative AI products fund and attend it
• ★A separately priced Online Remote Presentation Day means you can send people to the content without the travel, at $225-$425 a head
• ★Publishes a full rate card including 40% and 70% registration discounts for residents of Category H and I countries — genuinely unusual accessibility for a top-tier venue
