SIGCSE TS 2027: Planting Seeds, Creating Futures
The Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education (SIGCSE TS) is organized by the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education (SIGCSE) and is the organization’s flagship conference. The SIGCSE Technical Symposium addresses problems common among educators working to develop, implement and/or evaluate computing programs, curricula, and courses. The symposium provides a forum for sharing new ideas for syllabi, laboratories, and other elements of teaching and pedagogy, at all levels of instruction. The symposium provides a diverse selection of technical sessions and opportunities for learning and interaction.
SIGCSE TS 2027 will be held from February 17 - February 20, 2027 at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center in Sacramento, California.

Authors of accepted submissions will be required to present their work in-person at the conference, except for a limited number of papers and tutorials that are scheduled to be virtual.
ACM Open
All SIGCSE 2027 papers will be published under ACM Open.
Starting January 1, 2026, ACM will fully transition to Open Access. All ACM publications, including those from ACM-sponsored conferences, will be 100% Open Access. Authors will have two primary options for publishing Open Access articles with ACM: the ACM Open institutional model or by paying Article Processing Charges (APCs). With over 1,800 institutions already part of ACM Open, the majority of ACM-sponsored conference papers will not require APCs from authors or conferences (currently, around 70-75%). See authorship pages for more details.
