Groups looking to host an Additional Meeting or Co-located Event at DAC must complete the Request Form (link coming soon) no later than March 16, 2026. Each meeting requires its own form to be submitted. There is no guarantee that the DAC Show Management team can accommodate late requests.
Request Processing Information
-
Additional Meetings/Co-located Events may take place on Sunday, July 26th and Wednesday July 29th at the Long Beach Convention Center, except for during the Keynotes. Groups will be assigned space on a first-come, first-serve basis. DAC Show Management cannot guarantee that all requests received will be accommodated, pending space availability.
If you are planning an off-site or virtual meeting, this form is not necessary. The DAC Show Management team does not provide logistical assistance with offsite or virtual meetings. However, all details for offsite/virtual meetings should be sent info@dac.com – the DAC Show Management team must confirm whether it conflicts with any other DAC programing.
After submission, any logistical changes to an Additional Meeting/Co-located Event must be emailed directly to info@dac.com.
Room assignments for each Additional Meeting/Co-located Event will be provided in mid-March.
Exhibitor Meeting Room Requests follow a separate process from this Additional Meeting/Co-located Event form. Questions regarding Exhibitor Meeting Rooms should be sent to Lili Erickson.
Collocated Event Requests: Collocated events are subject to approval by DAC, ACM and IEEE. Collocated groups pay a room rental fee plus F&B, AV, etc.
Additional Meeting Requests: Additional Meetings are subject to approval by DAC leadership. Additional Meeting groups pay a room rental fee plus F&B, AV, etc.
Additional/Collocated meeting attendees must be registered for DAC in order to attend your meeting. You are free to create a separate registration link that requires attendees to pre-register for your meeting specifically.

Payments to host your meeting will be sent out by May 21, 2026. Payment is due in full at this time.
