We are making RecSys more equitable this year. Attendees from countries that are “economically developing” (as designated by the ACM) will pay a reduced fee. In addition, we will continue to support the attendance of the conference in many different ways thanks to our +Inclusion program, our Doctoral Symposium and our Student Volunteer program. Moreover, we offer flexibility to change your registration type if needed, to ensure that all of you can decide to attend RecSys that best suits your personal situation and needs.

FORMAT AND PROGRAM

RecSys 2021 will be a physical conference with an online component. Attendees in Amsterdam will enjoy the usual RecSys experience of in-person talks, workshops, tutorials, keynotes and social events. Our venue, the Amsterdam Conference Centre, features large halls and high ceilings and is ideally suited to be adapted to any social distancing that may still be required at the time of the conference. Remote attendees will enjoy a first-class virtual experience on our dedicated virtual hub that will enable them to watch talks in real-time, ask questions to presenters and connect with sponsors. In order to kick off RecSys, and to ensure that all of us can connect regardless of where we are, we will also host a virtual social event on Friday 24th September from 16:00–19:00 CEST (approx). Our social event will feature a mix of recsys topics, icebreaker opportunities, and the usual RecSys social atmosphere!

Due to our hybrid format, our schedule is somewhat different than in previous years. Main-track paper sessions will run from 14:30 CEST to 19:30 CEST from Monday to Thursday. These are the golden hours in which most of the regular RecSys attendees will be able to watch the presentations live, even when they are in different timezones. Moreover, our virtual hub will allow attendees to watch recordings of the streams soon after the session has ended.

We will offer two tutorials every day from Tuesday to Thursday, between 09:30–13:00 CEST. Tutorials will be presented in-person at the venue and streamed live in the RecSys Virtual hub. Recordings will be made available for participants whose timezones do not align well with CEST morning hours.

Finally, workshops represent a large part of what makes RecSys so interesting! We have adapted the schedule for workshops to enable both physical participation and also virtual interaction on an equal footing. Physical workshops will be held from Tuesday to Thursday between 09:30–13:00 CEST and all day on Friday, parallel to the RecSys Challenge, while virtual slots for the workshops are available on Saturday October 2nd and Sunday October 3rd. The schedule and set up will be tailored to the needs of the workshop’s organizers and participants. Some of the physical workshops may decide to record and/or stream.
