The ACM SIGCSE Conference on Research on Equity and Sustained Participation in Engineering, Computing, and Technology (RESPECT) 2026 will be held on June 8–10, 2026, in Chicago, IL, USA. The theme for this year is Equity-focused CS Education: Honoring the Plurality of our Community. 2026 marks the beginning of a new decade for RESPECT. The RESPECT Organizing Committee intentionally pursues opportunities to elevate those who may not easily find footing in traditional CS Education venues, confident that their positionality and perspectives can enrich our interdisciplinary scholarship. This year's theme reaffirms our commitment to championing equitable research and practice in computing education and emphasizes the people doing the work — a myriad of individuals who come together in our community.
