ACM FAccT 2026: Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency
📅 Thursday, 25 June 2026 → Sunday, 28 June 2026
ACM FAccT 2026 — the premier venue for fairness, accountability & transparency in AI, Montréal, 25–28 June.
ACM FAccT 2026, the ninth annual Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency, takes place 25–28 June 2026 at Le Centre Sheraton Montréal. It is the conference that effectively defined the field of algorithmic-harms research.
What you gain
FAccT is deliberately multidisciplinary — computer scientists, social scientists, lawyers and humanists in one room — with peer-reviewed papers, tutorials, and the distinctive CRAFT sessions (Critiquing and Rethinking Accountability, Fairness and Transparency) that bring in community and practitioner voices. For anyone working on responsible AI, it's where the actual evidence, auditing methods and critiques originate.
Where it fits
As governments operationalise AI law and firms scramble to implement governance, FAccT sets the intellectual agenda the policy world adopts a year or two later. Attending means engaging with the source material of the AI-accountability conversation rather than its downstream summaries.
