ACMC is a festival of gigs, talks, installations\nand hands-on tutorials designed to inspire, challenge, and showcase the computer\nmusic community. There's lots more information on the\n[conference website](https://acmc2020.com/).\n\n<Picture file=\"posts/acmc-2019-allsop-gig.webp\" alt=\"live computer music & visuals at ACMC'19\" />\n\n:::tip\n\nThe call for submissions---papers, artist talks, performances, workshops,\ntutorials and\nmore---[is now open](https://acmc2020.com/#/features/03-submission).\n\n:::\n\n## Who's it for, and why should you come?\n\nSure, it's hosted at an academic institution, but ACMC isn't just for\nprofessors. This year's conference theme is **inclusion**, and so we're trying\nreally hard to make it easy for _all_ folks who love making noise with\ncomputers, especially those who are often locked out of these sorts of events\nfor various reasons. We're offering free/cheap conference tickets and even\nscholarships to make that happen.\n\nSo, if you're reading this and you have some sort of creative practice which\ninvolves computers/technology and sound/music, then I'd _love it_ if you'd apply\nto come and show us your stuff. If you're worried that your stuff is suitable,\nthen (1) it probably is, and (2) I'm really happy to discuss it with you to help\nyou figure out how best to participate---just\n[send me an email](mailto:ben.swift@anu.edu.au).\n\nIf you're not interested in submitting your own work, then mark those dates\n(July 8--11) in your diary and stay tuned for when we release the program. We're\nalso going to be running a bunch of workshops in the days before & after the\nconference, so this could be your chance to start making music with computers\nlike you've always dreamed of 😊\n",
