[RecSys 2026] Last Call for Demos

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the 20th ACM Conference on
Recommender Systems (RecSys 2026) by submitting a demonstration to the Demo
Track. Demonstrations present implementations of novel, interesting, and
important recommender systems’ concepts or applications. Allowing potential
users to see and use a demo of a research work makes them excited about it
– it makes the work real and tangible. Demos also allow researchers from
academia and developers from small start-ups to large industries to present
new recommender ideas and get valuable feedback from the recommender
systems community.


We welcome new demonstrations of recommendation technologies coming from
diverse communities, ranging from psychology to mathematics. In particular,
we care as much about the human and economic impact of these systems as we
care about their underlying algorithms. We also encourage authors to
provide links to external materials in their reports, while ensuring
anonymity during the review process.

RecSys has an excellent history of being well-attended by industry
representatives – past conferences have had attendees and presenters from
Netflix, Amazon, Booking, Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Criteo, Pandora,
Spotify, etc. The blend of industry and academic attention provides an
excellent environment to demonstrate and discuss the latest inventions or
ideas.


We invite demonstrations relevant to all aspects of recommender systems,
including, but not limited to:

- Interaction techniques (preference elicitation interfaces, recommendation
presentation, explanations, and more).

- Tools for development and analysis of recommender systems (design and
analytics tools).

- Tools for evaluation (methods, frameworks, and metrics for assessing
recommender systems).

- Innovative applications of recommender systems.

- Recommender user experiments.

- Recommender platforms.

- New code libraries for recommender systems.


Accepted demonstrations will be published as extended abstracts in the ACM
RecSys 2026 conference proceedings. At least one author will be required to
present a poster and a live demonstration of their work in person at the
conference.
