Overview
On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the 35th ACM International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization (ACM UMAP 2027), we invite you to support the conference as a sponsor. ACM UMAP brings together researchers and practitioners working on interactive systems that can model, adapt, and personalize to their users, at the intersection of AI and HCI.
ACM UMAP 2027 will take place in Chicago, USA, on June 9–12, 2027, as a fully in-person, on-site conference. Inclusion is a core priority at UMAP. Sponsorship helps us reduce financial barriers and support initiatives such as student travel grants and broader participation.
Benefits
ACM UMAP offers sponsorship opportunities for organizations of all sizes. If personalization, user profiling, adaptive and intelligent user interfaces, or human-centered AI are relevant to your organization, sponsorship provides three main benefits:
1
Visibility and reputation
Increase brand awareness in a focused international community and reinforce your role in personalization and user-adaptive systems.
2
Recruitment and networking
Engage with excellent candidates and showcase your technologies to a highly relevant audience.
3
Support for accessibility and inclusion
Help keep participation feasible for students and under-represented groups, and contribute directly to community-building efforts (e.g., travel support).

Eligibility: À la carte items are available to sponsors at Bronze level or above and can be combined with any sponsorship level. À la carte contributions are additional to, and do not count toward, sponsorship level thresholds.
Allocation rules: À la carte items are limited in number. Requests from sponsors at Gold level or above are confirmed on receipt, in order of commitment. Requests from Bronze and Silver sponsors are held as provisional reservations until March 5, 2027, when any item not taken by a higher-level sponsor is confirmed. After March 5, 2027, remaining items are confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis, regardless of level. Where a provisional reservation cannot be confirmed, the sponsor has first refusal on the next available item of equivalent value, or may withdraw the à la carte portion of their commitment for a full refund.
Finance policy: All amounts are in US dollars. ACM is the financial point of contact for all sponsorship agreements: contracts are signed and invoices issued by ACM. The Sponsorship Chairs coordinate the selection of levels and à la carte items; formal paperwork is processed through ACM.
Materials: Sponsor logos (vector format, or 300 dpi or higher) must be received by April 2, 2027 for inclusion in signage, printed materials and the conference program. Signage format, size and placement are determined by the organizers in consultation with the venue.
