[Commlist] Call for poster presentations for SMSociety 2026

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.

#SMSociety is a biennial gathering of leading social media researchers 
from around the world. It is the premier venue for sharing and 
discovering new peer-reviewed interdisciplinary research on how social 
media affects society. #SMSociety provides participants with 
opportunities to exchange ideas, present original research, learn about 
recent and ongoing studies, and network with peers.

The 2026 conference is co-organised by the Digital Cultures and 
Economies Research Hub at the University of the Arts London (UAL), the 
University of East Anglia (UEA), and the hosts at the Division of Urban 
Studies and Social Policy at the University of Glasgow.

The conference’s three-day program will feature panels and paper 
presentations, workshops, tutorials, networking events, and a poster 
session. In keeping with the conference’s inter- and transdisciplinary 
focus, we welcome both quantitative and qualitative scholarly and 
original submissions that cross disciplinary boundaries and expand our 
understanding of current and future trends in social media research 
across many fields including (but not limited to): Communication, 
Computer Science, Critical Data Studies, Education, Journalism, 
Information Science, Law, Management, Political Science, Psychology, 
Public Policy, Public Administration, Science and Technology Studies,
