We invite proposals for tutorials and workshops to be held in conjunction with the 27th ACM Conference on Economics and Computation (ACM EC 2026) in Rome, Italy. The submission deadline for both tutorials and workshops is March 23, 2026 (11:59 pm AoE). See below for instructions on how to submit proposals.
The workshops are planned as an in-person event during the first day of the conference technical program (July 6, 2026). Some tutorials will take place in person in parallel to the workshops, while others will be held virtually from June 15-18.
Key dates
March 23, 2026 (11:59 AoE): Due date for submitting tutorial/workshop proposal
April 9, 2026: Tutorial & workshop proposal accept/reject notifications
June 15-18: Virtual tutorials
July 6, 2026: Workshops and in-person tutorials will take place on the first day of the EC 2026 conference
Tutorials
Tutorials provide an opportunity to educate the community about emerging topics of interest, or about topics from related fields that merit additional attention from the EC community. A tutorial is an opportunity to invite colleagues and young researchers to get excited about a well-defined topic, to prepare them to dive into the literature, and to guide them to the most exciting developments and open problems. Tutorials consist of a series of presentations by experts in the field.
As a new feature this year, some of the tutorials will be held in person while others will again be held virtually. For both formats we plan 2-hour tutorials, organized as two 45-minutes sessions. The in-person presentations will take place in parallel to the workshops on the first day of the main technical program (July 6, 2026); the virtual presentations will take place June 15-18.
Tutorial proposals should ideally be 2-3 pages long and should contain:
- the title of the tutorial
- keywords / sub-area within economics and computation
- the names, affiliations, email addresses, and short biographies of the organizers
- the preferred format of the tutorial (in-person or virtual)
- a short (1 paragraph) abstract of the tutorial
- a detailed outline of the tutorial content
- goals, importance, and timeliness of the tutorial
- target audience and prerequisite knowledge assumed
- a list of previous venues where the same or a similar tutorial has appeared
- (optional) required facilities for the tutorial
- (optional) any supplementary materials such as past tutorial slides
Tutorial proposals should be emailed to sigecom-tutorials@googlegroups.com.
Workshops
Workshops provide an opportunity to bring together researchers to discuss emerging areas of research in an informal forum. Workshop schedules should be designed to promote discussion and debate. A workshop may include invited talks, contributed talks, panel discussions, poster sessions, open problem sessions, presentations of work in progress, or any other activities that stimulate new ideas for research. It is up to the workshop organizers to determine the format and technical content of each workshop and to solicit contributions. We especially encourage proposals that bring together participants with diverse backgrounds and experience.
Workshop proposals should ideally be 2-3 pages long and contain:
- the title of the workshop
- the names, contact information, and short biographies of the organizers
- a description of the workshop theme
- the organization/format of the workshop
- the desired workshop length (half day, full day, etc.)
- confirmed or tentative invited speakers
- whether the workshop will feature contributed talks and/or posters
Workshops are planned as half or full day in-person events on the first day of the main technical program (July 6, 2026).
Workshop proposals should be emailed to sigecom-workshops@googlegroups.com.
