About the Conference

SIGUCCS is a Special Interest Group (SIG) within the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) that targets Information Technology professionals working in University and College Computing Services (UCCS); thus the name SIGUCCS. While most of the special interest groups within ACM target individuals involved in the science of computing, this SIG targets those in the service area of computing.
