Organizers

The annual ACM (Association of Computing Machinery) UMAP (User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization) conference is put together by many volunteers. This team includes an organizing committee with different roles like track and venue chairs, as well as sub-committee chairs. There are also student volunteers, reviewers, and many other contributors. The User Modeling Inc Steering Committee is responsible for overseeing the running of the ACM UMAP Conference series. As an ACM conference, UMAP and its organizers, speakers and attendees are bound by the ACM Policy against Discrimination and Harassment. Compliance with the ACM Policy at UMAP 2024 is supported by the SIGCHI CARES committee, represented at UMAP 2024 by Yushan Pan (Yushan.Pan@xjtlu.edu.cn), who all conference attendees can reach out to if they feel they have experienced or witnessed harassment, discrimination or bullying at the conference.
