Become A Sponsor

October 22 - 25, 2023

Sponsor the ACM SIGACCESS conference on computing and accessibility (ASSETS 2023)!

ASSETS 2023 is the leading conference in the research and design of accessible technology for people with disabilities and older adults. It will be held on Oct 22 - 25, 2023, in New York, NY. There will also be a lightweight virtual component for people who cannot physically attend. The organizing committee is led this year by Prof. Shiri Azenkot from Cornell Tech, and includes top international scholars in the field.

Our conference community is composed of top scholars, educators, and students in computing technology and accessibility. Roughly half of our attendees are undergraduate, MS, or PhD students. The conference will include research talks, poster and demo presentations, a doctoral consortium, and community-building events such as accessible cultural activities and a reception. Based on attendance in prior years, we anticipate 200-250 in-person attendees and about 200 remote attendees.

How the Money will be Spent

We are excited to host the conference in New York City, a media, tech, and cultural hub. However, this expensive location also means that sponsorship is especially critical this year. Sponsorship funds will help support accessibility services such as ASL interpreters, and provide travel scholarships to students with disabilities, and conference activities like the doctoral consortium for PhD students and an accessible reception. Sponsorship will also help support the virtual component of the conference, which is important for those whose accessibility needs prevent them from attending the conference in person.

Any leftover funds will be rolled over to next year’s event.
