Meet AfricaCWIC 2022 ACM SIG Supporters
We would like to thank all of our supporters who have made this event possible. The ACM SIGS have provided free tickets for students in Africa and prizes for our competitions.
ACM’s Special Interest Groups (SIGs) represent major areas of computing, addressing the interests of technical communities that drive innovation. SIGs offer a wealth of conferences, publications and activities focused on specific computing sub-disciplines. They enable members to share expertise, discovery and best practices. ACM SIGs that have supported this event and other initiatives in Africa include ACM-W, SIGSIM, SIGSOFT and SIGCOMM. Learn more about these SIGs below.
