C&C '26

The theme of the ACM Creativity and Cognition 2026 conference, Creativity for Change, responds to the rapid pace of change in our world and emphasizes the power of creativity in driving positive transformations. Our conference will explore how creativity can inspire and enable societal transformation, address decolonization, tackle climate action, and support place-making in urban and cultural contexts. We aim to weave the theme of making a better world through creativity throughout the conference program.
