Dear all,

We're excited to share with you that the registration for our upcoming hybrid meeting, SIGCIS 2026: Known Error (June 17-18, Berkeley, CA and virtually) is now open.

Register for the conference here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sigcis-2026-known-error-tickets-1986214059720?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl

This year, we are offering several tiers of registration, depending on employment status and in-person versus virtual attendance:

$200 for faculty or working professionals attending in-person;
$100 for graduate students, VAPs, postdocs, adjuncts and other precariously employed scholars, artists, and practitioners attending in-person;
Suggested donation for virtual participants, which helps SIGCIS cover the costs of running this meeting in its hybrid form without the logistical support of SHOT this year.

These rates are valid through April 30. Please be sure to register using the email where you would like to receive notifications about the conference.

In keeping with SIGCIS's mission to make conference attendance as accessible as possible for junior and precariously employed scholars, in-person attendees who meet certain criteria may request a registration fee waiver (see link and further information on Eventbrite registration page).

While we are still finalizing the specific scheduling of papers and panels, you can see the schedule overview here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Iauq2S39_rQIUa6ZhwXWk4hozD7QkyErVtx0X1rjPc8/edit?usp=sharing

Keep an eye out on this program page as we publish the full roster of exciting sessions in coming weeks.
