The Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026) Call for Posters

The Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026)

March 23-26, 2026, 5* Coral Beach Hotel & Resort, Paphos, Cyprus

https://iui.hosting.acm.org/2026/


The ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI) is the
leading annual venue for researchers and practitioners to explore
advancements at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). IUI submissions should address HCI
challenges using machine intelligence and consider both computational
and human- centric aspects. As AI becomes more integrated into
everyday technology, understanding its role in meeting human needs is
vital for developing effective and responsible systems.  This
conference fosters collaboration among experts from diverse fields to
tackle significant issues in AI and HCI through discussions,
workshops, and networking sessions.

UI 2026 attracted a record number of submissions for the main
conference (561 full paper submissions after an initial submission of
697 abstracts).


Posters

Posters provide an opportunity for sharing valuable last-minute ideas,
eliciting useful feedback on early-stage work and fostering
discussions and collaborations among colleagues. We invite submissions
relevant to all conference topics. All submissions should convey a
scientific result or work in progress that is not yet ready to be
published as a full-length research paper at a refereed conference.

The page limit for poster papers is 4 pages (references do not count
toward the page limit). Submitting a draft poster along with your
submission is not required, but is recommended. Accepted poster papers
will appear in the companion proceedings of the conference. Each
accepted contribution is expected to be presented in person during the
poster session.


Demos

The demonstration track complements the overall program of the
conference.  Demonstrations show implementations of novel,
interesting, and important intelligent user interface concepts or
systems. We invite submissions relevant to intelligent user interfaces
and which address, but are not limited to, the topics of the
conference. All submissions are intended to convey a scientific result
or work in progress and should not be advertisements for commercial
software packages.

The page limit for demo papers is 4 pages (references do not count
toward the page limit). Authors further need to submit a video (max. 5
mins) along with their demo paper to showcase their work. Accepted
demo papers will be presented as interactive demonstrations at IUI and
published in the companion proceedings of the conference.  Each
accepted contribution is expected to be presented in person during the
demo sessions.


Important Dates (AoE)

* Submission: December 21, 2025
* Decision notification: January 26, 2026
* Camera-ready submission: February 6, 2026


Topics

The topics for the Posters and Demos are the same as for the main track.


Submission Instructions

Papers must be up to 4 pages (references do not count towards the page
limit). Demo and poster submissions do not need to be
anonymized. Submissions should follow the ACM Master Article Templates
in a single-column format.

We adopt the ACM TAPS Workflow.
Please prepare your submission for review in a single column format,
using the latest
templates: Word Submission Template, or the LaTeX template using
\documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} for the LaTeX template.

Authors are required to include a proper classification for the paper
according to the ACM Classification System (CCS). Additional
information on how to use it is available at:
https://dl.acm.org/ccs .

A video (up to 5 mins) is required for demo submissions. The video
should showcase the system that will be demonstrated during the
conference. Please follow the SIGCHI Technical Requirements and
Guidelines for Videos
(https://sigchi.org/resources/guides-for-authors/videos/).

Please submit your demos and posters electronically to the Precision
Conference Submission (PCS) Portal
(https://new.precisionconference.com/user/login) by the paper deadlines.

In PCS, first click “Submissions” at the top of the page, from
the dropdown menus for Society, Conference, and Track, please select
"SIGCHI", "IUI 2026", and "IUI 2026 Posters" or
"IUI 2026 Demos", respectively, and then press “Go”.

Note: If the corresponding author (the individual who submits the
paper, not necessarily the first author) is affiliated with a
participating institution that has an open access agreement with ACM,
the Article Processing Charges (APCs) will be waived for publishing
the paper. Details are under "Publication and Open Access".


Accessibility

Authors are asked to make their paper submissions accessible (so that
reviewers with vision impairments can access them, for example). The
authors of accepted papers will be required to make their final PDFs
accessible. Please use the SIGCHI Guide to an Accessible Submission
for detailed instructions.

If you are submitting a video as supplemental material, please provide
captions, as described in Technical Requirements and Guidelines for
Videos.

Please refer to the Accessibility page of the conference site for
further details and guidelines.


Usage of Generative AI

All submissions must comply with the ACM policy on the usage of GenAI:
the April 2023 ACM Policy on Authorship and Frequently Asked
Questions. Text generated from a large-scale language model (LLM),
such as ChatGPT, must be clearly marked where such tools are used for
purposes beyond editing the author's own text. Authors should
include a "GenAI Usage Disclosure" section, right before the
references, to provide full disclosure of all use of GenAI tools in
all stages of the research (including the code and data) and the
writing. This section, together with the references, will not be
counted toward the word limit.

While we do not anticipate using tools on a large scale to detect
LLM-generated text, we will investigate submissions brought to our
attention and desk reject papers where LLM use is not clearly marked.
