Association for Computing Machinery (ACM, Inc.)

Association for Computing Machinery (ACM, Inc.) is a major international learned society for computing that organizes conferences, runs Special Interest Groups (SIGs), and provides resources related to computing, security, and privacy. ACM regularly sponsors and organizes academic and professional conferences (through ACM SIGs) that can include higher-education-focused cybersecurity and privacy events, but it is not exclusively a Higher Ed campus cybersecurity conference organizer nor specifically branded as REN-ISAC or FERPA-focused. It is a relevant organizer for university security, identity management, and student data privacy topics via its SIGs and conference programs.
