Call for Posters

The 17th ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Health Informatics (ACM-BCB 2026) is the flagship conference of ACM SIGBio. It will move for the first time to Europe and will be held in Calabria, Italy from June 30 to July 3, 2026. The conference aims to promote big data, AI and algorithms for health and biomedicine including cutting-edge advances in computational biology, bioinformatics, and health informatics, at the intersection of computer science, biology, health and medicine. The conference will be hosted at University of Calabria Congress Center.

We also encourage the participation of physicians and medical researchers if they apply bioinformatics approaches to solve biomedical challenges in their work. We invite authors to submit results that fall into general areas of bioinformatics, computational biology, and health informatics, including but not limited to the following areas:

• Computational systems biology
• Microbiomics and Metagenomics
• Population, Evolution and Comparative Genomics
• Multi-omics data analysis and integration
• Translational Bioinformatics
• Clinical and health decision support systems
• Biomedical and clinical data analytics
• Mobile health and sensor network
• Behavioral, Environmental, and Public health informatics
• Clinical and Health decision support systems
• Bioimage and Data visualization
• Text mining of Biomedical literature and Electronic health records

Submissions that fall under any of the following categories are highly encouraged: original research contributions, or preliminary results or proof-of-concept studies arising from work-in-progress, or results arising from undergraduate research or student- initiated research, or survey of tools and techniques in bioinformatics and biomedical health informatics.

Format Requirement

All interested authors are expected to submit a one-page abstract describing their posters on OpenReview. Submitted abstracts should not exceed one page in (ACM Master Article Template) on 8.5 x 11 inch paper. ACM-BCB's technical program committee will review all submissions on the basis of their originality, technical soundness, significance, presentation, and interest to the conference attendees. The accepted posters of registered authors will have the option of having a 1-page abstract included in the proceedings published by ACM Digital Library.
