We appreciate that this change is a bit surprising, but we believe that the surprise is outweighed by the benefits that come from being able to support more people in attending the conference. Thank you for your understanding!

We secured a less expensive venue with space that is more suited to FAccT’s needs on these dates. This has some specific benefits. Most importantly, it allows us to direct more funds towards registration waivers and travel grants, so we can make the conference available to more people.

That’s all for now! We’re excited to read your paper submissions and see you in Montréal!

FAccT prohibits using LLMs to wholesale generate text for manuscripts, but we know that some authors may use it for other purposes (e.g., grammar revisions).

First, with the rise of genAI in research paper submissions, we are instituting a new required Endmatter section for all authors, describing whether and how you used generative AI in preparing the manuscript.
