2021 ACM SIGMOD/PODS Conference to Feature World’s Foremost Data Scientists and Engineers

Virtual Conference to Explore Latest Innovations in Data Design, Automation, and Management with Blockbuster Program

New York, NY, June 10, 2021 – The Association for Computing Machinery’s Special Interest Group on Management of Data (ACM SIGMOD), together with PODS, the premier international conference on the theoretical aspects of database systems, will host its 2021 ACM SIGMOD/PODS Conference June 20 - 25, 2021. Held virtually this year with all the sessions available online, the conference will be complemented with a local physical event in Xi’an, China, primarily targeting the strong data management community in this region.

Global industries have become increasingly reliant upon data management to inform future operations and drive prosperity. Data management plays an increasingly vital role in the development and efficacy of machine learning, biometric analysis, and remote sensors across industries. As such, the ACM SIGMOD/PODS Conference presents a unique, international forum for database researchers, practitioners, developers, and users to share cutting-edge ideas and results, as well as exchange techniques, tools, and experiences across all aspects of data management. Conference participants will also have the opportunity to engage in a variety of new SIGMOD curated sessions, SIGMOD tutorials, and PODS sessions each day. The conference program consists of research papers, demo papers and industrial papers; tutorials; panel discussions; and keynote talks.
