CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

https://recsys.acm.org/

The ACM Recommender Systems conference (RecSys) is the premier international forum for the presentation of new research results, systems and techniques in the broad field of recommender systems. We are pleased to invite you to participate in RecSys 2020, which will be held entirely online during September 22-26, 2020.

IMPORTANT DATES

* Early-bird registration: August 21, 2020
* Main conference: September 22-24, 2020
* Tutorials & workshops: September 25-26, 2020

REGISTRATION

Registration is open at https://recsys.acm.org/recsys20/registration/. Register on or before August 21 to benefit from an early-bird discount!

ONLINE FORMAT

RecSys 2020 will be held entirely online. In transitioning online, our goal is to offer attendees an experience as close as possible to what makes RecSys great, while making the necessary adjustments to make it inclusive for our international community around the globe. In particular, the main conference will keep its traditional single-track structure, beginning with a keynote each day followed by multiple paper sessions and a poster/demo session. Longer breaks between sessions will allow attendees to network with other attendees and sponsors, engage in several virtual social activities, or simply chill out before the next session. Instead of choosing one particular timezone, the main conference will follow a timezone-agnostic, always-on schedule. In practice, attendees should be able to watch and interact live with all the content presented through September 22-24, 2020. Tutorials and workshops on September 25-26, 2020 will offer a mix of synchronous and asynchronous activities. For further details, please visit: https://recsys.acm.org/recsys20/online-format/.

TECHNICAL PROGRAM

RecSys 2020 will bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to present their latest results and identify new trends and challenges in providing recommendation components in a range of innovative application contexts. In addition to the main technical track, the RecSys 2020 program will feature keynote talks, tutorials covering state-of-the-art in this domain, a workshop program, an industrial track and a doctoral symposium.
