Conference and Chapter ResourcesConference ResourcesConference FormsConference organizers provide ACM with conference details through the preliminary approval form (PAF) and the TMRF. The PAF is a simple form that requires location and date and sets off several triggers: ACM can secure SIGDOC approval to publicize the event dates and locations, once approved the details appear in the ACM on-line calendar; accounting staff is alerted to conferences being held outside the US enabling them to secure and share information on VAT and other tax issues. To improve our efficiency, it would be ideal if you could have conference organizers provide us with conference details through the preliminary approval form (PAF) and the TMRF as soon as possible. The PAF is particularly helpful because the details submitted set off several triggers: we cam secure SIGDOC approval to publicize the event dates and locations, once approved the details appear in the ACM on-line calendar; accounting staff is alerted to conferences being held outside the US enabling them to secure and share information on VAT and other tax issues. The PAF can be found here: The TMRF can be found here: Conference Operations and LogisticsConference web site:ACM doesn't have a template for conference websites. However, they do prefer that conference sites are hosted on ACM servers and live in the main sigdoc site, as follows:
