The ACM Web Conference (TheWebConf), formerly the The Web Conference (TheWebConf) and the International World Wide Web Conference (www or IW3), aims to provide the world with a premier forum for discussion and debate about the evolution of the Web, the standardization of its associated technologies, and the impact of those technologies on society and culture. The conferences bring together researchers, developers, users and commercial ventures – indeed all who are passionate about the Web and what it has to offer.
Since 2022 the conference is organized by the Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest Group on Hypertext, Hypermedia and the Web (ACM SIGWEB).
