    The UIST 2026 Student Volunteer (SV) program is now accepting applications! Being an SV is a chance to attend the premier forum for innovations in human-computer interfaces, build lasting connections with fellow volunteers and the organizing committee, and engage with the broader UIST community.

    • Lottery application opens: June 20, 2026
    • Lottery application due: August 1, 2026
    • Acceptance notification: August 7, 2026

    Apply through the lottery application form. There is also an alternate route: the SV T-shirt design contest—the winner secures an SV spot and has their design printed on the SV T-shirt.

The ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology (UIST) is the premier forum for innovations in human-computer interfaces. Sponsored by ACM SIGCHI and SIGGRAPH, UIST brings together people from diverse areas including graphical & web user interfaces, tangible & ubiquitous computing, virtual & augmented reality, multimedia, new input & output devices, human-centered AI, and CSCW.

The intimate size and intensive program make UIST an ideal opportunity to exchange research results and ideas.
