Technology Outreach Program

Technology Outreach Program

Since its inception in 1947, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) has been committed to promoting the free interchange of information about the sciences and arts of information processing. In support of this mission, the ACM Technology Outreach Program (TOP) offers a variety of professional services and activities.

  • The ACM Distinguished Speaker Program has been one of the computer industry's premier outreach endeavors in the United States for the past four decades. In addition, we have now DLPs established in other regions of the world as well. Please visit these sites if you are in:
  • The TOP Videotape Library offers quality VHS programming to ACM Chapters free of charge. A variety of computing topics are covered in these professionally produced programs.
  • The TOP Video Podium records current ACM Lecturers at work in the Lectureship Series. This is an excellent way for chapters to become acquainted with the ACM Lecturers and topics. These VHS tapes are recordings of live presentations.
  • The Crossroads - Spanish Edition is a Spanish translation of the popular ACM student publication.
  • The Regional Magnet Events are conferences and workshops sponsored by other groups and organizations but which use ACM Lecturers as keynote speakers.
  • International ACM Student Chapter "Big Events." These are meetings held by and for ACM Student Chapters worldwide. The 2003 "Big Event" is ENCA 2003 in Guanajuato, Mexico, May 7-9.
The Technology Outreach Program is a part of the ACM Membership Activities Board.
