Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)
One of the key strategic goals of the ACM FAccT Conference is promoting diversity and inclusion. DEI Chairs work closely with all conference organizers towards this goal. DEI Chairs may serve two two-year terms.
Current DEI Chairs
Please contact inclusion@facctconference.org for questions about our DEI efforts.
Sponsorship
One key tactic for achieving the diversity and inclusion goals of the ACM FAccT Conference is keeping registration costs very low, so that cost is not a hardship for those wishing to attend. The work of the ACM FAccT Sponsorship Chairs is to raise funds that can be used to offset conference costs and provide grants for conference attendees. They are responsible for cultivating new sponsors and maintaining relationships with existing sponsors. Furthermore, the Sponsorship Chairs are responsible for ensuring that new sponsors align with the strategic vision laid out in the Strategic Plan, and for communicating conference policy with sponsors. Sponsorship Chairs may serve two two-year terms.
Current Sponsorship Chairs

This includes approving conference locations and key personnel; approving new members of the Executive Committee; amending the conference bylaws; etc. Steering Committee members may serve two two-year terms.
