Call for Sponsors
The 2026 ACM Conference on Human-AI Complementarity and Alignment (HCOMP 2026) will be held from September 27-30, 2026 at the Virginia Tech Institute for Advanced Computing near Washington, DC, USA, and will be proudly co-located with Collective Intelligence (CI) 2026. Partnering with HCOMP 2026 as a sponsor offers your organization a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of innovation in human computation and crowdsourcing – a fundamentally important field in creating and propagating better AI. We invite a wide range of works that will generate new insights into the role of human intelligence and input in the age of LLMs and generative AI, workflows for human-AI collaboration and teaming, the quality (or values) of human-annotated datasets, holistic approaches to deal with bias and fairness, and interpretability metrics that shape AI systems today.
HCOMP is a cross-disciplinary conference fostering an inclusive atmosphere that encourages active participation from both industry and academia to share their expertise, collaborate, and advance the field's frontiers. By co-locating with CI 2026 this year, we are bridging crowdsourcing, social computing, and human-computer interaction into an even broader intellectual community.
Your generous sponsorship will directly support to:
- make the conference more accessible by keeping registration fees affordable for academic researchers, especially students,
- invite influential keynote speakers,
- organize social events that play a vital role in community building,
- support essential conference logistics.
