The SIGGRAPH virtual conference will again include both on-demand presentations and scheduled sessions, celebrating advancements in computer graphics, digital art, animation, visual effects, machine learning, artificial intelligence, immersive and mixed realities, scientific visualization, and more. Among the featured speakers are 2019 ACM A.M. Turing Award laureates Ed Catmull and Pat Hanrahan.

The SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining brings together researchers and practitioners from data science, data mining, knowledge discovery, large-scale data analytics, and big data. Keynote speakers include Janil Puthucheary (Member of Parliament, UK), Sharon Glotzer (University of Michigan), Claire Tomlin (University of California, Berkeley) and Vincent Conitzer (Duke University).

The flagship annual conference of the ACM Special Interest Group on Data Communication focuses on the applications, technologies, architectures, and protocols for computer communication. Workshops will cover 5G measurements, modeling, and use cases; flexible networks; network-application integration; professional development for women; responsible use of the internet; and more. Tutorials will include cloud and other technologies. In addition there will be three hackathons.

The 21st ACM Symposium on Document Engineering will include sessions that focus on collaborative work with documents, as well as use of documents and document collections in real-world applications, novel principles, tools and processes that improve our ability to create, manage, maintain, share, and productively use these. ACM Fellow Ophir Frieder (Georgetown University) and Justin Picard (Scantrust) are the scheduled keynote speakers.

The ACM Joint European Software Engineering Conference and Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering will be a hybrid online/in-person event. Scheduled keynote speakers are Mira Mezini (TU Darmstadt) on "Programming and Execution Models for Next Generation Code Intelligence Systems," Nachiappan Nagappan (Facebook) on "Product, Process, People and Productivity," and Panos Papadopoulos (Marathon Venture Capital) on "Balance Between Engineering and Company Building."

The 26th SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming will feature technical presentations of papers appearing in PACMPL Vol 5: Issue ICFP, an awards session, a programming contest, and papers recently appearing in the Journal of Functional Programming. Keynote talks will be delivered by Ravi Chugh, Associate Professor at the University of Chicago, and others TBA.

The 2021 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing will feature workshops on mental health; emotion sensing; pervasive systems; ubiquitous health monitoring; computing for well being; and more. UbiComp is collocated with the ACM International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC), which includes a design exhibition and student competition.

womENcourage 2021 will be virtually hosted by czechitas in Prague, Czech Republic. Keynote speakers and panel discussions will include Jaya Balloo (Avast), Justine Sass (UNESCO), Margaret-Anne Storey (University of Victoria) and Danica Kragic (Royal Institute of Technology). Conference participants can attend ask-me-anything sessions with some of the speakers, workshops, tutorials, a hackathon and a career fair.
