Hypertext 2026

The topic of Hypertext 2026 is Hypertext as Method. More than just a technological structure, hypertext embodies a way of thinking – nonlinear, networked, dynamic – that allows new forms of storytelling, new approaches to argumentation, new approaches to sense-making and knowledge.

For 2026 we invite the breadth of hypertext-adjacent scholarship and practice to explore hypertext not solely as a tool but as a fundamental epistemic approach – one that underpins the information architecture of the modern world.

The ACM Hypertext conference is a premium venue for high-quality peer-reviewed research on hypertext theory, systems and applications. It is concerned with all aspects of modern hypertext research, including social media, semantic web, dynamic and computed hypertext and hypermedia, as well as narrative systems, applications in the field of knowledge, culture and entertainment, and the societal impact of hypertext systems.
