to Chicago Chapter ACM
Dear ACM Chicago Chapter members, that's a reminder that the ACM Hypertext conference will take place in Chicago on September 15-19, 2025, and some calls for papers are still open!
Call for Late Breaking and Blue Sky Papers.
Track Chairs: Prof. David Millard (University of Southampton) and Dr. Ben Steichen (California State Polytechnic University, Pomona)
Late Breaking Results
We encourage researchers and practitioners to use this track as a valuable opportunity to receive useful feedback on early-stage work and foster discussions and collaborations among colleagues. We look forward to receiving:
* Innovative research plans and preliminary results;
* Descriptions and/or evaluations of system prototypes addressing the theory and practice of topics to the hypertext community;
* Essays introducing recently started research projects or summarising project results.
Blue Sky Papers
In cooperation with the Computing Community Consortium (CCC, https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://cra.org/ccc/__;!!DZ3fjg!4uTrzvrv7wvohWsDes8aqFWWAOU2B9qK9WU08wXK7fKRfEeO4GDNnAzlNNEXV-uLFYximPkezhCqUhTkTUDtPiRcYQ$ ), we invite submissions to a special “Blue Sky Ideas” track. The emphasis of this track will be on visionary ideas, long term challenges, and opportunities in research that are outside the current mainstream topics of the field. We want to overcome the constraints of the traditional review process by incubating innovative approaches, risky and provocative ideas, and propose challenges and opportunities in the near future. We are particularly excited about ideas that address the conference theme of “The World as Hypertext.”
To encourage researchers to present truly visionary concepts, the CCC is offering prizes for up to 3 top blue sky papers in this special track: first prize $1000, second prize $750, and third prize $500, to be awarded as travel grants. Submissions will be judged on the extent to which they expand the possibilities and horizons of the field or challenge existing assumptions prevalent in the field.

ACM Hypertext 2025 invites submissions to the Demos and Exhibitions track, dedicated to showcasing innovative hypertext technologies, interactive experiences, and industry-leading applications. This track provides an exciting venue for presenting working systems, creative applications, prototypes, and real-world case studies to the hypertext community, industry professionals, and the broader public. All submissions must be written in English. Papers should be submitted electronically, in a PDF format, through the EasyChair submission system, https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=ht2025adjunct__;!!DZ3fjg!-fWAYwigzBdECBrY7JYOWXNUEXnwhty_znHBFQK13GbW70ASa1TFumPa9SzEEWKD6flZHyAW4yrFmQWzoqc7UGnsTQ$ .
Demos
We welcome demonstrations of working systems, prototypes, or experimental tools that explore how hypertext and AI-driven technologies amplify creativity, enhance connections, and transform user experiences.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
* Innovative hypertext applications in industry and education
* Novel hypertext tools and technologies
* Emerging hypertext systems employing AI, AR, VR, or Web3
* Practical demonstrations of interactive storytelling systems
* Hypertext systems that utilize Large Language Models for adaptive and personalized experiences
Exhibitions
We also invite submissions that showcase original interactive experiences, digital art installations, games, or narrative works that leverage hypertext and AI-driven technologies to amplify creativity and enhance user engagement. Possible topics here include, but are not limited to: digital art and creative interactive media; interactive narrative experiences; immersive installations utilizing AR, VR, or mixed reality; innovative e-literature and storytelling projects; and digital installations addressing ethical considerations such as biases, authorship, and human-AI collaboration, among others.
