Dear AoIR community, This is a final call for poster submissions for the 2026 International Conference on Social Media & Society (#SMSociety), which will take place in Glasgow, Scotland, from July 13-15, 2026. The deadline for poster extended abstracts (1000-1500 words) is March 13, 2026 at midnight (Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time). Posters provides an excellent opportunity to share work-in-progress, postgraduate research, and early findings from ongoing projects in an interactive format that allows for discussion of emerging ideas, encourages feedback on your work, and allows you to connect with colleagues working on related topics. We encourage submissions from authors at various career stages, so do consider submitting before the deadline.
