ACM Creativity and Cognition (C&C) conference brings together diverse communities of designers, artists, crafters, educators, and researchers. Coming to London, hosted for the first time by the UAL Creative Computing Institute. C&C is a unique opportunity for organisations to support and connect with the cutting edge research community

The C&C conference has been established in the ACM SIGCHI calendar since 1993 as an annual event that brings together researchers and practitioners from different disciplines to explore themes around digital technologies, creativity, design and innovation with about 200 attendees for our online conference in 2025 and once again in-person for 2026.

Sponsoring this event is an ideal opportunity to indicate your organization’s commitment to research on design and creativity, and to publicize this support to many leaders and students in the field. Sponsors play a vital role in sustaining the economic viability and proud tradition of strong participation for this conference each year. Sponsorship helps to keep registration fees affordable for academic researchers and students, and enables student volunteers (future leaders in the field!) to receive complimentary registration.

• Engage with Experts: Connect with leading researchers, academics, and industry professionals in the field
• Exclusive Insights: Gain access to the latest advancements in Creativity and Computing
• Showcase Innovation: Share your latest developments with an audience of influential field leaders
• Demonstrate Leadership: Position your brand as a catalyst of research and innovation in Creativity and Cognition

All sponsorship will go towards supporting the conference. We will offer a range of corporate support levels including the opportunity to commit your support for both 2025 and 2026 conferences at once.
