Really? Is there even a single ACM conference where a non-academic would be welcome submitting a paper or talk (and yes, dedicated researchers at corporations count as academics, if one of the qualifications is a PhD)
- geomblog 12y agoIn the world of data analysis (take KDD as an example) there are explicit encouragements (via multiple tracks, workshops, and demos) for industry folk to present their work even if it's not considered academic research. But that isn't my point at all. Conferences as such are run by academics and probably have many biases. But the ACM as an organization doesn't do as much for academics as might be perceived from the outside.
