What is ACM?

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is the world's leading educational and scientific computing society. With cutting-edge publications, conferences, and career resources, ACM provides members with opportunities to lead and excel in the ever-evolving field of computer science.

Founded at the dawn of the computer age, ACM has grown into an international community of over 100,000 members, with councils in the United States, Europe, India, and China — making it easier than ever to network globally with students and professionals alike.

We give our members numerous ways to grow beyond the classroom — including hands-on workshops, guest speakers, and technical seminars that help prepare them for real-world careers in tech.

Not studying computer science? No problem! Our events are beginner-friendly, practical, and open to all majors.

At ACM, we pride ourselves on creating a welcoming, inclusive space where anyone can explore computing and gain confidence through community.

ACM helps students grow professionally by connecting them with industry partners and career opportunities. You'll get to explore tech careers, build your resume, and meet recruiters face-to-face at events.

But it's not just about work — we host social events, coding challenges, and casual hangouts to help you build friendships and enjoy your time in the club.

Our calendar is packed with weekly activities — there’s always something exciting happening at ACM.
