Celebrate Global Diversity Awareness Month with New ACM Series
October is Global Diversity Awareness Month. As the world’s largest computing society, ACM is proud of our international community. Our globe diversity is reflected in our international conferences, People of ACM series, and hundreds of student and professional chapters worldwide. This year, we’re excited to launch a special video series featuring ACM President Yannis Ioannidis, capturing his conversations with various ACM Members during his conference travels. Journey along with #ACMGoesGlobal as we post this series across ACM socials (YouTube, X, Instagram, etc.).

DEI Articles in Communications of the ACM
Through Communications of the ACM, the ACM Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council contributes articles to promote an open conversation related to topics on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Fostering an inclusive environment for members of different ages, races, nationalities, gender identities, sexual orientations, physical and mental abilities, and backgrounds to feel welcome to participate is important for the ACM DEI Council. ACM welcomes you to read the DEI articles and partake in the conversation on building an inclusive environment that benefits all.
DEI-CE Webinars
The ACM Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Council facilitates discussion panels on biases and ethical challenges in technology. Committed to fostering an inclusive environment in both workplaces and academic settings, the DEI Council organizes webinars that encourage conversation on biases within tech and how to confront those biases to create a more equitable space for everyone in the computing community.
How Diverse Is Your Team?
ACM's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council is an essential resource for SIGs, conferences, boards, and councils looking for best practices to improve diversity in their organization and develop programs with a broader reach in the computing community. Our guide provides examples of both inherent and acquired characteristics, which should be taken into consideration when looking at ways to improve the diversity of your team.
