28^th ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction
(5-9 October 2026)

Call for Tutorials

ACM ICMI 2026 seeks half-day tutorial proposals addressing current and emerging topics within the scope of context and cultural awareness for multimodal interaction.

Tutorials are designed to offer a high-quality learning experience to participants with diverse backgrounds. It is expected that tutorials are self-contained.

Prospective organizers should submit a 4-page (maximum) proposal containing the following information:

1. Title.
2. Abstract, appropriate for possible Web promotion of the tutorial.
3. A short list of the distinctive topics to be addressed.
4. Learning objectives (specific and measurable objectives).
5. The targeted audience (student / early stage / advanced researchers, pre-requisite knowledge, field of study).
6. Detailed description of the tutorial and its relevance to multimodal interaction.
7. Outline of the tutorial content with a tentative schedule and its duration.
8. Description of the presentation format (number of presenters, interactive sessions, practical aspects).
9. Accompanying material (repository, references) and equipment, emphasizing any required material from the organization committee (subject to approval).
10. Short biography of the organizers (preferably from multiple institutions) together with their contact information and a list of 1-2 key publications related to the tutorial topic.
11. Previous editions: If the tutorial was given before, describe when and where it was delivered.

Proposals will be evaluated using the following criteria:

• Importance of the topic and the relevance to ACM ICMI 2026. 
• Presenters’ experience.
• Adequacy of the presentation format to the topic.
• Targeted audience interest and impact.
• Accessibility and quality of accompanying materials (open access).

Proposals that focus exclusively on the presenters’ own work or commercial presentations are not acceptable. However, we encourage non-academic researchers to propose tutorials.

Proposals should be emailed to the ICMI 2026 Tutorial Chairs, Prof. Marco Cristani and Prof. Tsvi Kuflik at: icmi2026-tutorials-chairs@acm.org
