The 2021 ACM Web Science Conference: Globalisation, Inclusion and the Web in the Context of COVID is now less than 4 days away!

In addition to the keynote talks and paper presentations, we have a number of special activities planned:

We have created our own virtual conference in Gather Town for our conference delegates to socialise and network in the breaks.  Delegates will be able to explore the space, listen to the "Untangling the Web" podcast series, visit our publishers and authors "booths", and have fun at the Comedy Club and the "Web and Surf" pub.   The password for accessing the space will be sent to registered participants.
