• If you are a recipient of ACM, SIG, or Conference funded travel grant, please include this information in your request.
• For visa support letters, please complete the following request online: https://supportletters.acm.org/.  Please allow up to 10 business days to receive a letter. All requests are handled in the order they are received. The information below should be included with the request:
