AFFECTIVE COMPUTING AND INTELLIGENT INTERACTION 2026
https://acii-conf.net/2026/
The Association for the Advancement of Affective Computing (AAAC)
invites you to join us at our 14th International Conference on Affective
Computing and Intelligent Interaction (ACII), which will be held which
will be held as an in-person event in Puebla, Mexico on September 7th –
10th, 2026. Accepted papers must be presented by one of the paper’s
authors.
The ACII conference series is the premier international venue for
interdisciplinary research on the design of systems that can recognize,
interpret, and simulate human emotions and, more generally, affective
phenomena. The conference is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE
Computer Society (PAMI-TC). All accepted papers will be included in IEEE
Xplore and indexed by EI. A selection of the best articles at ACII 2026
will be invited to submit extended versions to the IEEE Transactions on
Affective Computing. The conference will be co-located with IVA
(Intelligent Virtual Agents Conference) 2026.
Main track submission deadline: 27 March 2026

Dear colleagues,
The organising committee of Affective Computing and Intelligent
Interaction (ACII) 2026 is now inviting proposals for workshops and
challenges. ACII is the flagship conference for research in Affective
Computing, covering topics related to the study of intelligent systems
that perceive, express, or otherwise use affect.
Workshops at ACII provide opportunities for researchers to get together
to connect and exchange ideas on a specific topic in detail. Example
workshops from previous years are available here: ACII 2025 and ACII
2024. We encourage workshop proposals that draw together
interdisciplinary perspectives on topics in affective computing. We also
welcome Challenge-led workshops, where workshop participants would work
on a shared task (e.g., building a multicultural affective computing
avatar for mental health) in advance and present the results at a
workshop.
The ACII 2026 conference theme is "Emotions beyond borders:
Multicultural Affective Computing". Workshop organisers will be
responsible for soliciting and reviewing papers and putting together an
exciting schedule, including time for networking and discussion. Papers
accepted by workshops will be published in the conference's companion
proceedings.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Please email your proposal to the workshop chairs: workshop-
cha...@acii-conf.net (max. 3 pages, PDF format). Your mail must use
(mandatory) a subject line in the following format: "WS-ACII 2026 |
[Your Workshop Title]".
Please address the following points in your proposal:
1. Technical Information
a. Title of the Workshop/Challenge.
b. Topics to be covered, with explanations of their relevance.
c. Relation to previous workshops/challenges at ACII, highlighting
similarities and differences with respect to the proposed event.
d. A draft call for papers.
2. Organisers and Speakers
a. Full names, titles, affiliations (with one, potentially two, contact
emails) of the organizers.
b. A summary of the organizers' background and experience that make them
well suited for organizing the event, including brief bios.
c. In case this event is part of a series, please provide URLs to
relevant past events and/or any related information.
d. A preliminary list of invited speakers (if applicable). Important:
Please list only speakers who have confirmed or tentatively confirmed
their attendance, clearly indicating whether each confirmation is
tentative or final.
3. Logistics
a. Duration preference (full-day or half-day event).
b. List of tentative and confirmed PC members (mention the status per PC
member).
c. Specify the primary nature of your event:
i. Challenge.
ii. Peer reviewed paper event (orals/posters).
iii. Combination of invited speakers and peer reviewed papers.
iv. Affinity workshop to create and strengthen communities (suchas"Women
in Affective Computing").
d. A review timeline for papers or competitions.
e. If posters will be presented, provide a number estimate. Note that
the conference may limit the number of posters based on space
availability.
f. Any special space or equipment requirement.
g. Extended abstract making the scientific case for the
workshop/challenge (why, why now, why at ACII, expected outcomes,
impact).
4. Additional information
a. For Challenges, include detailed task instructions as well as
information on any restrictions, requirements, and available resources
such as datasets, benchmarks, open-source models, and open-source tools.
In addition, specify the metrics used to evaluate how well the challenge
has been addressed, and provide clear instructions for submitting
participants' results.
b. Expected number of submissions, paper length, review process, and
format.
c. Publication plan if beyond ACII companion proceedings (e.g., Special
Issue, whether contact was made with the publisher already).
Proposals will be reviewed in a confidential manner, and acceptance will
be decided by the ACII 2026 Workshop and Program Chairs. Decisions about
acceptance are final.
