Following previous years and feedback from the wider DIS community, DIS 2026 will be an in-person–only conference.

Conference Registration includes access to all presentations, posters, demos, keynotes, panels, and industry sessions, as well as morning and afternoon refreshment breaks, lunches, and evening events, including the Welcome Reception and Demo Reception.

One-Day Passes are intended for attendees who are not authors of presented work. These passes provide access to all sessions on the selected day, including lunch, morning and afternoon refreshment breaks, and evening events scheduled for that day.

Companion Passes include access to exhibits, lunches, morning and afternoon refreshment breaks, and the Welcome Reception. These passes are strictly intended for family members or friends accompanying a registered DIS attendee.

NB. Please do remember to check visa requirements dependent upon your country of origin or residency.

Registration Policy

The DIS conference is committed to being an inclusive, accessible, and student-friendly venue. To maintain this environment while covering the costs of hosting a world-class international event, we have implemented the following registration policy:

Each accepted submission for Paper and Pictorial must be covered by at least one unique full registration. (Note: This requirement is waived only if the submission is authored and presented solely by students.)

Why is this policy necessary

To keep the conference accessible to our diverse global community, many of our registration tiers are heavily subsidized. Our ability to offer these lower rates depends on a balanced ratio of full registrations:

Prioritizing Student Participation: We take great pride in our high student attendance. Because student registration fees are set significantly below the actual cost of hosting an attendee, each student participant is essentially subsidized by approximately two full registrations.
Global Equity (ACM SIGCHI Categories C, H, and I): DIS is honored to receive a large volume of submissions from researchers in ACM SIGCHI Category H and I regions. To remain inclusive, these fees are deeply discounted. Each of these registrations requires the support of two to three full registrations to bridge the funding gap.
A Sustainable Community Model: While a full registration fee sits above the average cost per attendee, these funds are the essential engine that allows us to welcome the students and international colleagues who make our community vibrant.

By requiring one unique full registration per paper, we ensure that every accepted work contributes to the foundational costs of the conference, allowing DIS to remain a home for diverse voices and the next generation of researchers.

If you have any question regarding the registration policy, please contact chairs@dis2026.acm.org.
