SIGCSE TS 2027 — ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education

SIGCSE TS 2027, the ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education, runs 17-20 February 2027 at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center in Sacramento, California. It is SIGCSE's flagship conference and the largest venue for computing-education research and practice, covering curriculum design, assessment, pedagogy and programme evaluation at every level of instruction. Generative AI is now the defining problem of the field, and the symposium maintains explicit published policies on generative AI, LLMs and related tools for both submissions and teaching practice. The programme is unusually varied for an academic conference: thirteen submission categories, including Papers, Panels, Tutorials, Special Sessions, Nifty Assignments, Birds of a Feather, a Doctoral Consortium and the ACM Student Research Competition. Accepted work must be presented in person.

• ✓Computer Science Educator
• ✓University Faculty and Department Chair
• ✓K-12 Computing Teacher
• ✓Head of Engineering Enablement
• ✓University Relations and Early-Careers Lead
• ✓Education Technology Product Leader
• ✓Computing Education Researcher

This is not a vendor conference, and that is the reason to send someone. Any organisation hiring software engineers now recruits graduates who learned to program alongside an LLM, and this is the venue where the evidence on what that actually changes — in fundamentals, debugging ability and assessment integrity — is peer-reviewed rather than asserted. Heads of engineering enablement, university-relations leads and internal training owners get research-grade answers on AI literacy and curriculum, plus direct access to the faculty who run the departments their graduate pipeline comes from.

• ✓Papers track — peer-reviewed computing-education research
• ✓Panels and Special Sessions on curriculum and policy questions
• ✓Tutorials, priced separately as add-ons to the main registration
• ✓Nifty Assignments — a curated exchange of classroom-ready assignments
• ✓Birds of a Feather informal topic sessions
• ✓ACM Student Research Competition and Doctoral Consortium
• ✓Demos, Posters and Lightning Talks tracks
• ✓Affiliated Events co-located with the main symposium

• ★The primary peer-reviewed venue for evidence on how LLMs change how programming is taught, assessed and learned — the question every engineering organisation now faces at the intake end
• ★Thirteen distinct submission categories, including Nifty Assignments and Birds of a Feather, so the programme carries practical classroom material alongside research papers
• ★Maintains explicit published policies on generative AI, LLMs and related tools, which are themselves a widely copied reference for institutional AI policy
• ★In-person presentation is required for accepted work, which keeps the hallway track and the authors both actually present
• ★Registration is rounds-based with an early-bird deadline of 4 January 2027 and steeply tiered member, community-college and K-12 rates

Published rates: ACM/SIGCSE members from $325 (student, early-bird) up to $885 (regular rate, late registration), with reduced rates for community-college faculty and K-12 teachers; non-members start at $825 early-bird, with an option to join SIGCSE for the lower rate. Tutorials are separate add-ons at $95-$125 for members and $105-$135 for non-members. Early-bird closes 4 January 2027, regular registration runs 5 January to 1 February 2027, late registration 2 February to 20 February 2027.
