Since its inception in 1989, the World Wide Web has transformed the way we live, work, and connect. For more than three decades, The Web Conference has been the stage for groundbreaking innovations that have shaped the Internet as we know it. Seminal contributions first presented here include the Anatomy of a Large-Scale Web Search Engine in 1998, which prefigured Google; the EigenTrust algorithm in 2003; and the YAGO knowledge base in 2007 (see past recipients of the Test of Time Award).

Each year, the conference brings together scholars, researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and users with a shared mission: to imagine and build the future of the Web.

The Web Conference (formerly known as the International World Wide Web Conference, abbreviated WWW) has been the premier annual forum for presenting and discussing advances in research, development, standards, and applications shaping the future of the Web.

The 2027 ACM Web Conference will take place in Dublin, Ireland and will feature a high-quality program including research sessions, posters and demonstrations, a PhD symposium, workshops, tutorials, an industry track for practitioners, as well as thought-provoking keynote speakers, panels, special tracks.
