The 2026 ACM Conference on Innovative Concepts and Technologies in Information Retrieval (ACM ICTIR 2026) will be held on July 25 in Melbourne | Naarm, Australia.
ICTIR 2026 is co-located with SIGIR 2026 and will be held the day after the SIGIR 2026 program concludes, allowing attendees to create a six-day immersive conference experience in a vibrant world-class location.
SIGIR 2026 and ICTIR 2026 will both be held at the award-winning Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Center, on the south bank of the Yarra River.
To register for ICTIR, go to the SIGIR 2026 page and select "Registration" [coming real soon now].
If you plan to attend SIGIR as well as ICTIR, register as a "Three-Day" or "Five-Day" attendee, and ICTIR will be available as an optional extra as part of those registration sequences.
If you plan to attend ICTIR only, select the "One-Day" SIGIR registration option, and ICTIR will be one of the "days" that can be picked, together with zero or more of the days on which SIGIR activities will take place.
ICTIR registration may be completed at the same time as SIGIR registration is undertaken, or can be added at any later time. The ICTIR registration fees are constant, and there are no early discounts or late penalties.
The same SIGIR registration page allows accommodation options to be compared and booked.
Please read the Registration and Accommodation Terms and Conditions on the SIGIR web site carefully.
At least one author of each accepted ICTIR paper is required to register for ICTIR as the "presenting author" of that work, to allow finalization of the ACM ICTIR 2026 proceedings. One such registration may be used as the basis for presenting multiple accepted papers.
Presenting authors must complete their ICTIR registration by Sunday 14 June 2026 (11:59pm AEST Melbourne time}.
Registration for ACM SIGIR 2026 and/or ACM ICTIR 2026 will be regarded as confirmation that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the ACM Privacy Policy and the ACM Policy Against Harassment at ACM Activities.
Persons who register for ACM SIGIR 2026 and/or ACM ICTIR 2026 who have been sanctioned by the ACM for past policy breaches, and who as a result of those sanctions have been banned from participating in ACM activities, will have their registrations cancelled without being eligible for a refund.
