## Call for papers

SIGDOC’s mission is to advance the state of knowledge, encourage the research, and support the interdisciplinary practice of the design of communication. Our annual conference provides a forum for scholars and practitioners alike to come together and share research findings and best practices in all fields related to the design communication, including but not limited to technical communication and user experience. For our 2026 conference, we invite proposals that further this mission as we work together to build knowledge and address the myriad concerns facing researchers and practitioners in our communities and workplaces. Proposals can address a broad range of topics related to the practice or teaching of communication design, technical communication, and/or user experience including, but not limited to: Interdisciplinary problem solving Emerging modes of communication Theory and research methods Community-centered research and design practices User experience design and experience architecture Learning systems and environments Open source design solutions Collaborative platforms Design methods and principles Digital humanities and design Project management Content strategy Information literacy Information design and architecture International and intercultural communication design Computer-mediated communication Socially just implications for technical communication AI, LLMS and AI-assisted writing practices We also welcome submissions that are rooted in neighboring disciplines, such as software development and computer science, healthcare, social work, crisis communication, digital humanities, rhetoric of science & technology, and beyond.
