Important update on ACMs new open access publishing model for 2026 ACM Conferences!

Starting January 1, 2026, ACM will fully transition to Open Access. All ACM publications, including those from ACM-sponsored conferences, will be 100% Open Access. Authors will have two primary options for publishing Open Access articles with ACM: the ACM Open institutional model or by paying Article Processing Charges (APCs). With over 1,800 institutions already part of ACM Open, the majority of ACM-sponsored conference papers will not require APCs from authors or conferences (currently, around 70-75%).

Authors from institutions not participating in ACM Open will need to pay an APC to publish their papers, unless they qualify for a financial or discretionary waiver. To find out whether an APC applies to your article, please consult the list of participating institutions in ACM Open and review the APC Waivers and Discounts Policy. Keep in mind that waivers are rare and are granted based on specific criteria set by ACM.

Geographic APC Waivers and Discounts:

Understanding that this change could present financial challenges, ACM has approved a geographic waiver through a temporary subsidy for 2026 to ease the transition and allow more time for institutions to join ACM Open. The subsidy will offer:

$250 USD APC for ACM/SIG members
$350 USD for non-members

This represents a 65% discount, funded directly by ACM. Authors are encouraged to help advocate for their institutions to join ACM Open during this transition period.

Financial Hardship APC Waivers:

ACM authors not covered by ACM Open or a geographic waiver may apply for a financial hardship waiver from ACM. Geographic waivers will be processed automatically, so authors need take no additional steps if they are eligible for a geographic waiver or discount. This temporary subsidized pricing will apply to all conferences scheduled for 2026.

Terms and Conditions

All payments are processed through CVENT, and the ACM NanoCom 2026 organization committee has no liability whatsoever. Student registration rates are available to full-time students only.

Refund/Cancellation Policy

All refund requests must be made in writing to finance-chair-nanocom26@googlegroups.com and received no later than August 14, 2026. Requests received by August 14, 2026 will receive a full refund less a CAD 150 processing fee. For those who pay by credit card, refunds can only be processed to the credit card to which the original charge was made. Processing of the refunds may take over 30 days. No refunds will be processed for cancellations after August 14, 2026. Extra page charges are non-refundable.

Payment Methods

Credit Card is the suggested method for the registration fee. Wire transfer is also available.

Early Registration

Early registrations (i.e., on/before August 14, 2026) without real payment actions will be canceled. Attendees have to go through the online process again, and will not be considered as early registration.
