The 21st International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility
The ASSETS conference is the premier forum for presenting research on the design, evaluation, use, and education related to computing for people with disabilities and older adults. We invite high-quality original submissions on topics relevant to computing and accessibility.
For the first time, ASSETS is expanding its scope this year to include original high-quality research on topics related to education of computing accessibility.
All contributions are peer-reviewed by an international Program Committee. Accepted papers and the abstracts for posters and demonstrations, experience reports, and the student research competition will be archived in the ACM Digital Library. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers to a special issue of the ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing (TACCESS).

The ASSETS 2019 conference will be held at The Omni William Penn Hotel from October 28th to 30th, 2019 in Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
