Where Academia and Entrepreneurship Meet at Innovation


DC ACM was established on November 1, 1958, and is one of the longest running ACM chapters in the nation.  We carry out the ACM objectives at the community level, providing opportunities for meaningful connections between academicians, professionals, and policymakers in the computer science and information technology fields.  Working in partner with ACM special interest groups (SIGs), DC area technical user groups, and area university Computer Science and Information Technology departments, we provide lectures, events, classes and networking opportunities that bring professionals together.

 

Here’s our chapter’s three primary community activities:

Discussions                Seminars                  Workshops

We present panel discussions and lectures for free to the public, covering a wide range of technical and academic subjects within the Computer Science and Information Technology fields. We put on fee based professional development seminars that cover skillsets that are relevant to today’s workplace. We have covered Intrustion Detection Systems, iPhone and Android development, 3-D Graphics with Blender, and more. We also host workshops and collobrative sessions. These can focus on resume improvements, interview approaches, or just simply a communal workspace for a window of time.
