[Veale, Michael]

Registration for ACM FAT* 2019 (Atlanta, Georgia, Jan 29–31 2019) opens on Thursday, October 18 at 12:00 PM ET, at www.fatconference.org. 

The 2019 ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (ACM FAT*) is an interdisciplinary conference to connect social, technical and policy domains around broad questions of fairness, accountability and transparency of computing systems. ACM FAT* spins off from the successful FAT/ML workshops and sister workshops in other domains, seeking to connect these issues across a much wider variety of computing areas and applications.

ACM FAT* features tracks on theory and security; statistics, machine learning and data mining; applications (NLP, machine vision, search engines and other systems); systems; HCI; measurement and audits; empirical studies; and law, policy and humanistic/critical analysis. The Tutorial Session will be held on the 29th Jan and the General Session on 30-31st Jan.

Tiered pricing is available, with reduced rates for academics, government representatives, students and non-profits. Students and non-profits will be able to attend the General Session for as little as $50. Participants in financial need can also submit an application for support with fees and travel. More information will shortly be available at https://fatconference.org/2019/attending.html 

It’s worth noting that the first FAT* Conference in 2018 sold out rapidly, with a waiting list of several hundred participants. To avoid disappointment, please consider putting the opening in your diary and registering promptly. See you in Atlanta!
