ACM serves as an umbrella organization offering its 78,000 members a variety of forums in order to fulfill its members' needs: the delivery of cutting-edge technical information, the transfer of ideas from theory to practice, and opportunities for information exchange. Providing high quality products and services and world-class journals and magazines; dynamic special interest groups; numerous "main event" conferences; tutorials; workshops; local special interest groups and chapters; and electronic forums. ACM is the resource for lifelong learning in the rapidly changing IT field.

The scope of SIGCHI consists of the study of the human-computer interaction process and includes research, design, development, and evaluation efforts for interactive computer systems. The focus of SIGCHI is on how people communicate and interact with a broadly-defined range of computer systems. SIGCHI serves as a forum for the exchange of ideas among computer scientists, human factors scientists, psychologists, social scientists, system designers, and end users. Over 4,500 professionals work together toward common goals and objectives.

SIGCHI sponsors or co-sponsors many conferences related to human-computer interaction.
