Celebrating ACM's 2019 & 2020 Award Recipients: ACM Prize in Computing
September 30, 2021
Welcome to the first in a series of emails celebrating the recipients of the 2019 and 2020 ACM Awards and their accomplishments.
The surge of the COVID-19 delta variant, international travel restrictions and restrictions on indoor gatherings forced ACM to cancel its Awards Banquet planned for October 23, 2021.
Over the next several weeks, we will send you emails containing videos highlighting the achievements of the 2019 and 2020 Award recipients that were prepared for the Banquet.
