ACM Creativity & Cognition is a multi-disciplinary conference covering a broad range of topics. The conference brings together artists and scientists, designers, educators, and researchers. We seek to understand human creativity in its many manifestations, to design new interactive techniques and tools to augment and amplify human creativity, and to use computational media technologies to explore new creative processes and artifacts in all human endeavors ranging from the arts to science, from design to education.  

Tutorials allow C&C attendees, including practitioners who might not usually attend an academic conference, to extend their knowledge beyond their current area(s) of expertise. The aim is that they help people to:

1. Explore new methods, techniques, and practices,
2. Develop new skills in order to innovate, and
3. Become inspired to pursue new ideas.

Participants will include creative professionals who can utilize the rich knowledge that the C&C communities have applied in their businesses and organizations, including industry managers, practitioners, students, and researchers. Tutorials can be designed for novices, experts, or audiences with general interest (the expected audience should be clear in the proposal).

We encourage submissions that offer interactive and participatory methods, and which aim to engage the wider community in the field. We encourage submissions that seek beyond solely academic audiences, for example, through engaging practitioners.

What’s the difference between a Tutorial and a Workshop? 

Tutorials are run by expert instructors, typically with established reputations, teaching people who are new to a topic or who want to align or intersect their practice with the latest academic research.  In contrast, workshops are meetings of experts exploring new knowledge together.

How are submissions evaluated? Content is rigorously judged by the committee for suitability as a tutorial, and interest to the community.

When do tutorials occur? Tutorials will run for a full or half day on June 23, 2025, which is the day before the main conference track and will be online.
