So thrilled to take part in reflecting on #FAccT2025 together!

Have you ever took part in participatory design?

Have you ever used hashtag #po.lis for that?

Do you want the share your thoughts about FAccT?

If you answered YES to any of it, come by our session!

The conversation continues! The Polis conversation will stay open after our session, allowing the discussion to evolve. Your input will directly contribute to a report for the FAccT community and beyond. (3/4)

How it works: We'll begin with small group brainstorming to generate seed statements that kickstart the conversation. Then, we'll use the Polis (pol.is) platform to collaboratively write statements and vote on them, reflecting on the conference's past to shape its future. (2/4)
