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 2,600 institutions already part of ACM Open, the majority of ACM-sponsored conference papers will not require APCs from authors or conferences (currently, around 76%).<br><br>Authors from institutions not participating in ACM Open will need to 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/libraries.acm.org\/acmopen\/open-participants\">participating institutions<\/a> in ACM Open and review the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acm.org\/publications\/policies\/policy-on-open-access-apc-waivers-and-discounts\">APC Waivers and Discounts Policy<\/a>. Keep in mind that waivers are rare and are granted based on specific criteria set by ACM<br><br>Understanding that this change could present financial challenges, ACM has approved a temporary subsidy for 2026 to ease the transition and allow more time for institutions to join ACM Open. The subsidy will offer:<br><br><kbd>\u2022<\/kbd> $250 APC for ACM\/SIG members<br><kbd>\u2022<\/kbd> $350 for non-members<br><br>This represents a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acm.org\/publications\/openaccess\">65% discount<\/a>, funded directly by ACM. Authors are encouraged to help advocate for their institutions to join ACM Open during this transition period.<br><br>This temporary subsidized pricing will apply to all conferences scheduled for 2026.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, please read this detailed <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/sigchi\/transitioning-to-acm-open-914a8dcba485\">blog post<\/a> by Neha Kumar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Important Dates Your Local Time &#8211;:&#8211; Anywhere on Earth (AoE) &#8211;:&#8211; UTC\u221212:00 offset Contribution Type Submission* Acceptance Notice* Camera-Ready in PCS* eRights [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-29","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cui.acm.org\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/29","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cui.acm.org\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cui.acm.org\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cui.acm.org\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cui.acm.org\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29"}],"version-history":[{"count":34,"href":"https:\/\/cui.acm.org\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/29\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":670,"href":"https:\/\/cui.acm.org\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/29\/revisions\/670"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cui.acm.org\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
