The purpose of a tutorial is to provide CHIIR attendees—including early-career researchers and researchers crossing over from related disciplines—with an opportunity to learn about concepts and techniques related to user-centered aspects of information interaction and information retrieval.
Tutorials serve as a venue to share presenters’ expertise with the global CHIIR community. They should focus on a specific topic within CHIIR-related research. Topics may include, but are not limited to:
Tutorials can be full-day or half-day sessions. We encourage submissions from both researchers and industry practitioners, including hands-on tutorials combining theory with practical exercises.
Suitable templates are available from the ACM Website. For LaTeX, use:
\documentclass[sigconf,natbib=true]{acmart}
Submit proposals via EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=chiir2026
Select the track: “CHIIR 2026 Tutorials”
Each tutorial proposal must include two parts:
Accepted abstracts will be published in the conference proceedings.
Note: Abstract submission is not mandatory for tutorial proposals.
Tutorial proposals are not anonymous. The review process is single-blind to reflect the nature of the content.
Please review the ACM authorship policy. Authors must be correctly listed in EasyChair at submission time. No authorship changes are allowed after the deadline.
All submissions must comply with the ACM policy on using Artificial Intelligence.
Starting January 1, 2026, ACM will fully transition to Open Access. All ACM publications, including those from ACM-sponsored conferences, will be 100% Open Access. Authors will have two primary options for publishing Open Access articles with ACM: the ACM Open institutional model or by paying Article Processing Charges (APCs). With over 1,800 institutions already part of ACM Open, the majority of ACM-sponsored conference papers will not require APCs from authors or conferences (currently, around 70–75%).
Authors from institutions not participating in ACM Open must pay an APC to publish their papers, unless they qualify for a financial or discretionary waiver. To find out whether an APC applies to your article, please consult the list of participating institutions in ACM Open and review the APC Waivers and Discounts Policy. Remember that waivers are rare and are granted based on specific criteria that the ACM sets.
Understanding that this change could present financial challenges, ACM has approved a temporary subsidy for 2026 to ease the transition and allow time for institutions to join ACM Open. The subsidy will offer:
This represents a 65% discount, funded directly by ACM. Authors are encouraged to help advocate for their institutions to join ACM Open during this transition period.
This temporary subsidized pricing will apply to all conferences scheduled for 2026.
