Announcing HCOMP 2027 in Tokyo, Japan — September 2027!

We are delighted to announce that HCOMP 2027 will take place in Tokyo, Japan in September 2027! We look forward to bringing our global community of researchers, practitioners, and innovators together in Tokyo. Stay tuned for exact conference dates, venue details, and calls for participation!

About the Conference

ACM HCOMP is the premier venue for disseminating the latest research findings on human-AI complementarity and alignment. Our community studies and designs systems that combine the complementary strengths of human and artificial intelligence to achieve outcomes neither could achieve alone, in ways that are ethical, safe, and intentional.

This research builds on a foundation established by the HCOMP community during its first decade as an AAAI conference series focused on human computation and crowdsourcing.

This year, the conference will be co-located and tightly integrated with the 2026 ACM Collective Intelligence (CI) Conference, creating a unique synergy between researchers in human-AI collaboration and collective intelligence.

2026 Conference Theme: "Connections"

The theme of this year's co-located conference is Connections.

We encourage submissions that explore connections across disciplines; across humans, animals, and machines; between individuals and communities, and beyond.

Keynote Speakers

We are thrilled to welcome three visionary keynote speakers spanning Industry, Academia, and Government, bringing pioneering perspectives on human-AI complementarity and alignment.
