The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is a prestigious organization dedicated to advancing computing as a science and profession. Recently, ACM has relaunched its flagship publication, Communications of the ACM (CACM), as an open access, web-first publication. The organization is actively celebrating Women's History Month in 2024, with events and initiatives to highlight the achievements of women in computing. ACM is calling for nominations for the ACM-W Rising Star Award, recognizing emerging leaders in the field. Additionally, ACM has released reports on diversity awareness, enrollment and retention in undergraduate computing, and new open access publishing models. The organization is known for its strong impact factors and commitment to ethical computing practices. ACM hosts a range of events, such as diversity data collection efforts, conferences like DATE, SAC, and ICSE, and panels on topics like AI regulation and generative AI technologies. ACM is committed to lifelong learning and has updated its code of ethics to reflect evolving ethical standards in technology. In response to the conflict in Ukraine, ACM has decided not to hold any conferences in Russia, demonstrating its commitment to social responsibility. Joining ACM means gaining access to a wealth of computing literature, career resources, and opportunities to volunteer and engage with the global computing community.
