News: Deleting X: Why SIGDOC Left the Platform (from SIGDOC)

Good afternoon,

Based on member feedback, the SIGDOC Executive Committee (https://sigdoc.acm.org/conference/2025/) decided to delete our X account. Please read the following blog post to learn more about this decision: https://cacm.acm.org/blogcacm/deleting-x-why-sigdoc-left-the-platform/

If you or your organization would like to remove your account, I recommend following the steps outlined by James and Quinlan (2025). Furthermore, if, like SIGDOC, your organization cares about privacy, ethics, communication design, and people, then I also recommend beginning the process of listening to your members as well as any additional stakeholders (through soliciting feedback) to explore which communication approaches align with your goals.

Thank you all for your continued support of SIGDOC. There are less than 5 months until #SIGDOC25 and we’re looking forward to seeing many of you in Lubbock, TX!
