Thank You for Your Service! Two Decades and 289 Chairs at ACM RecSys

The first post in this series looked at who runs the ACM Conference on Recommender Systems (ACM RecSys), and how the conference changed as an organisation. The annual committee grew, responsibilities became more differentiated, and recent conferences moved work from individual Chairs to teams.

This post turns to the people: who keeps showing up, and what does repeated service actually consist of? I created a dataset with 289 people who have held, or are already announced to hold, at least one recorded ACM RecSys chair position such as General Chair, Program Chair, or Tutorial Chair. Together, they account for 568 ACM RecSys roles from 2007 through 2026, and in part 2027. Of those 289 people, 180 appear exactly once at ACM RecSys, and only 25 have at least five recorded ACM RecSys roles. For the same 289 people, I also collected chair positions at six neighbouring conference series: ACM SIGIR, ACM UMAP, The ACM Web Conference, ACM WSDM, ACM CIKM, and ECIR. That adds 361 roles, giving 929 recorded conference-chair positions in total.

The title is meant sincerely for all 289. Serving once is service too. I focus on the smaller group who returned because repetition allows patterns to become visible that a single role cannot show.

“Thank you for your service” is most strongly associated, especially in the United States, with military service. I borrow the phrase deliberately here for something very different: service to a scientific community. Academic communities are not countries, and organising a conference is obviously nothing like military service. Academic communities nevertheless depend on people taking responsibility for institutions whose benefits are shared by many who may never see most of the work. Conference organisation is one form of what is sometimes called academic citizenship.

Chair positions are only one visible part of that work. Reviewers, volunteers, staff, editors, software maintainers, teachers, and many others contribute without appearing on an organising page. The spreadsheet measures one narrower thing: repeated chair service.

I use three counts below. ACM RecSys counts chair roles at the dedicated conference. Other counts roles at the six neighbouring conference series, but only for people who already enter the population through ACM RecSys. Total combines the two.

I also distinguish between two time periods: the full 2007–2027 record and a recent window beginning in 2020. I use 2020 because that is roughly where the previous post found the organisation changing shape: committees grew sharply and responsibilities increasingly moved from individuals to teams. The ACM RecSys person-level record runs to 2027, but only the three announced General Chair positions exist for that edition; measures that require a complete edition stop at 2026.

A high count does not mean that someone is a better researcher, more influential, or more important to the field. Nor do all chair positions represent the same kind of work. Each recorded chair position simply adds one to the spreadsheet.

Disclosure: I am in the dataset myself, with one recorded ACM RecSys chair role as General Co-Chair of the 2027 edition, and I sit on the current ACM RecSys Steering Committee. I keep myself out of the examples below. Including the announced 2027 roles is the sole reason I am in the dataset at all; without them it contains 288 people. A role that has been announced and staffed is a real commitment. I also could not resist.

1. Who keeps coming back?

The most direct question is who repeatedly takes responsibility for ACM RecSys itself. I therefore start with the ACM RecSys record rather than with the combined seven-conference ranking. The table uses a threshold rather than a fixed Top-N cut: everyone with at least five recorded ACM RecSys chair roles is included.

Everyone with at least five recorded ACM RecSys chair roles. Equal counts share a rank and are ordered alphabetically.

Long-term and broad service

Li Chen leads the ACM RecSys count with eleven roles across seventeen years. Chen begins with liaison work in 2010–2012, then moves through local organisation, demos and tutorials to Program Chair in 2020 and General Chair in 2023, followed by Women’s Events and workshops. Together with Dietmar Jannach, she is the founding Co-Editor-in-Chief of ACM Transactions on Recommender Systems (ACM TORS).

Alan Said’s nine ACM RecSys roles begin with Publicity, then move through Workshops and Industry to General Chair in 2019, followed by Reproducibility and Tutorials. Said now chairs the ACM RecSys Steering Committee. His six recorded Other roles include ACM UMAP General Chair in 2026 and a Web Conference 2026 Track Chair role in User Modeling, Personalization and Recommendation.

Michael Ekstrand’s seven ACM RecSys roles include Demo/LBR, General Chair in 2018, Program Chair in 2022, two doctoral roles, and Reproducibility. Ekstrand sits on the Steering Committee’s Executive Committee and the ACM TORS editorial board, has been central to LensKit, and teaches the Coursera Recommender Systems Specialization with Joseph A. Konstan.

Joseph A. Konstan’s six ACM RecSys roles span almost the full history of the conference: General Chair in 2007 and again in 2026, with Doctoral, Workshop, and Program Chair roles between them. Konstan also chaired the ACM RecSys Steering Committee from 2007 to 2009. In 2022, ACM gave Konstan the Outstanding Contribution to ACM Award for twenty-five years of service and leadership.

Martijn Willemsen’s five ACM RecSys roles run from the doctoral symposium in 2016 through General Chair in 2021 to Tutorial, Workshop, and Program Chair roles in 2024–2026.

Alexander Tuzhilin’s six ACM RecSys roles stretch from General Chair in 2009 through Program Chair in 2017 to Doctoral Chair in 2026.

Benedikt Loepp’s eight ACM RecSys roles are much more specialised. Six are consecutive Web/Media Chair positions from 2015 through 2020, followed by Student Chair and Proceedings Chair. Chen provides the useful contrast: her recurrence comes from moving through much of the organisation, while Loepp’s comes largely from repeatedly taking responsibility for one operational function.

Same totals, different tempo

Counts also hide time. The same number of roles can be concentrated in a short span or distributed over much of a career. As a simple measure of service density, I divide each person’s seven-conference role count by the inclusive span from the first to the last recorded role.

Shlomo Berkovsky820112025150.53
Three pairs with identical Total values and different service spans. The final column is a descriptive density over the recorded span, not a workload measure.

Boratto and Chen both have sixteen recorded roles, accumulated across seven and seventeen years respectively. Hauptmann and Berkovsky both have eight, across four and fifteen years. Among the 27 researchers with at least eight total roles in the combined ranking in the appendix, the density ranges from 2.29 to 0.50 roles per service-span year.

Bamshad Mobasher sits near the sparse end. His eleven recorded roles run from 2008 through an announced return as ACM RecSys General Chair in 2027, with seven ACM UMAP roles in between, including Program Chair in 2012. Mobasher chaired the ACM RecSys Steering Committee from 2020 to 2023.

2. Repeated service since 2020

The full record shows long-term recurrence. The recent window asks a different question: what does repeated service look like in the larger modern ACM RecSys organisation?

2021Demo/LBRChallenge
2022Demo/LBRChallenge
2023WorkshopsFinance & Registration
2024DoctoralFinance & Registration
2025WorkshopsFinance & Registration
2026ReproducibilityFinance & Registration
Seven ACM RecSys roles each since 2020, in two different patterns.

Ludovico Boratto and Saikishore Kalloori each have seven ACM RecSys chair roles since 2020, but the similarity ends with the count. Boratto rotates through Demo/LBR, Workshops, the doctoral symposium, and Reproducibility. His nine recorded Other roles include General Chair of ACM UMAP in both 2022 and 2024; he also co-organised the 2024 RecSys Summer School in Bari with Cataldo Musto and Fedelucio Narducci.

Kalloori’s seven roles are entirely at ACM RecSys: Students in 2020, Challenge in 2021 and 2022, and four consecutive years of Finance and Registration from 2023 through 2026. Try running a conference without them.

Sole Pera has eight ACM RecSys roles overall, six of them since 2020, covering Inclusion and Accessibility, the doctoral symposium, Women’s Events, and Program Chair after an earlier General Chair role in 2018. Outside ACM RecSys, Pera was Program Chair of ACM UMAP 2023 and ACM CIKM 2024. She sits on the Steering Committee’s Executive Committee and co-chaired the 2025 ACM Europe School on Recommender Systems in Vienna with Julia Neidhardt and Wolfgang Wörndl.

Noemi Mauro’s entire twelve-role record begins in 2021. Mauro has five ACM RecSys roles spanning Proceedings, Tutorials, Student activities, and Publicity, alongside seven ACM UMAP roles over the same six-year period.

Özlem Özgöbek held four consecutive Women’s Events roles from 2021 through 2024 and the doctoral symposium in 2025.

Hanna Hauptmann’s six ACM RecSys roles are more concentrated still. Hauptmann handled Women’s Events and Publicity simultaneously in 2021, 2022, and 2023. Six roles do not necessarily mean six editions: in Hauptmann’s case, they mean three editions with two parallel responsibilities.

3. Is there a path to General Chair?

Forty-five people have held, or are already announced to hold, an ACM RecSys General Chair position in the 2007–2027 record. Twenty-three had no earlier recorded ACM RecSys chair position before their first appointment.

Among the remaining 22, Program Chair was the most common most recent recorded ACM RecSys role before first becoming General Chair: seven cases. Five most recently came from the doctoral symposium. Ten had been Program Chair at some earlier point. For these 22 people, the median gap from the first recorded ACM RecSys chair role to the first General Chair appointment is five and a half years, with a range from one to fifteen.

Robin Burke went from ACM RecSys Program Chair in 2009 to General Chair in 2011, then returned for the doctoral symposium in 2017 and Reproducibility in 2024. At ACM UMAP, Burke was Tutorial Chair in 2014, Doctoral Chair in 2015, and Program Chair in 2020; he chaired the ACM RecSys Steering Committee from 2017 to 2020.

Toine Bogers’ first recorded ACM RecSys chair position is General Chair in 2019, followed by Social Chair in 2020; his next recorded chair role in the seven-conference dataset is ACM UMAP General Chair in 2026. Bogers is also a current ACM RecSys Steering Committee member.

George Karypis follows the more familiar Program-to-General sequence, from Program Chair in 2013 to General Chair in 2026.

The aggregate result is nevertheless clear: there is no standard ladder to General Chair, and for 23 of the 45 people General Chair is the first ACM RecSys chair role I can identify.

4. ACM RecSys in a wider conference ecosystem

The six neighbouring conference series provide a second view of the same ACM RecSys-defined population.

More visible outside ACM RecSys

Min Zhang has one recorded ACM RecSys chair role, Program Chair in 2023, but thirteen roles at the six neighbouring conference series. Her ACM SIGIR sequence runs from Short Paper Chair in 2018 through Best Paper and Track roles to Program Chair in 2026; she has served as Editor-in-Chief of ACM Transactions on Information Systems since 2020 and is completing her second and final term in 2026.

Alejandro Bellogín has four recorded ACM RecSys roles and seven at neighbouring conferences, eleven in total. Bellogín first appears in the ACM RecSys record as Proceedings Chair in 2016 and later takes Workshop and Tutorial roles, while the wider record is dominated by ACM UMAP, including General Chair in 2022 and Program Chair in 2026.

Marko Tkalčič has three recorded ACM RecSys roles and seven outside it. Tkalčič’s ACM RecSys roles are Workshop Chair and two Demo/LBR positions, while his wider activity is concentrated at ACM UMAP, including Program Chair in 2021, several Track Chair roles, and the doctoral symposium in 2026.

Hui Fang has one recorded ACM RecSys chair role and ten roles at the neighbouring conference series.

Maria Maistro has two ACM RecSys roles but seven wider roles since 2020, including General Chair of ACM SIGIR 2025. With Bogers and Said, she co-organised the 2023 RecSys Summer School in Copenhagen. Tat-Seng Chua has one recorded ACM RecSys role and six at neighbouring conferences, including General Chair of ACM SIGIR in 2008 and ACM WSDM in 2023.

ACM RecSys roles versus chair roles at the six neighbouring conference series for the 289-person ACM RecSys-defined population. Each point is one person; selected names illustrate different patterns of recurrence.

Peter Brusilovsky’s wider record begins a decade before his ACM RecSys chair record. Brusilovsky first appears at ACM UMAP as Industry Chair in 2009, followed by the doctoral symposium in 2011 and Track Chair roles in 2017, 2018, and 2022; his only recorded ACM RecSys chair role is Program Chair in 2019.

Marco de Gemmis likewise first appears at ACM UMAP, as Doctoral Chair in 2013, before ACM RecSys Proceedings Chair in 2015 and later Doctoral and Program Chair roles at ACM RecSys.

Rodrygo Santos has one ACM RecSys chair role, General Chair in 2020, and seven further roles across ACM CIKM, ACM WSDM, ACM SIGIR, and ACM UMAP. Those include CIKM Program Chair in 2023 and SIGIR Tutorial Chair in 2021 and 2025. Santos is also a current ACM RecSys Steering Committee member. Thirty-four people appear in at least three of the seven conference series; only three — Hui Fang, Vanessa Murdock, and Rodrygo Santos — reach five.

Substantial activity on both sides

The Total view adds ACM RecSys and the six neighbouring conference series. It surfaces people whose service is substantial on both sides without necessarily dominating either separate ranking.

Dietmar Jannach has six recorded ACM RecSys roles, spanning Workshops, Program Chair, Tutorials, the doctoral symposium, and Reproducibility, plus seven roles at neighbouring conferences, mostly ACM UMAP, where he was Program Chair in 2019. Jannach co-founded ACM TORS in 2022 and is Co-Editor-in-Chief with Chen; he also co-authored Recommender Systems: An Introduction with Markus Zanker, Alexander Felfernig, and Gerhard Friedrich.

Christine Bauer has seven recorded roles since 2021, split three at ACM RecSys and four at neighbouring conferences, and is announced as an ACM RecSys General Chair for 2027. Bauer’s public portfolio also documents extensive meta-reviewing, reviewing, editorial, and teaching work across venues including SIGIR, RecSys, CHI, ISMIR, TORS, TOIS, and summer schools.

5. What the counts miss

So far, I have treated the dataset as a way of making repeated service visible. It is equally important to ask what each measurement choice hides. The people below are a selection: I chose cases where the gap between the chair count and the broader record seemed particularly informative, and another selection could reasonably look different. Research achievements mentioned in these examples are context, not additional service points.

What “since 2020” leaves behind

PersonACM RecSys roles overallSince 2020First and later recorded roles
Francesco Ricci60Doctoral consortium 2007; General Chair 2017
Pearl Pu60Short Papers 2007; General Chair 2008
Alexander Felfernig50Liaison 2007; Program Chair 2009
Three organisers whose recorded ACM RecSys chair service ends before the recent window opens.

Francesco Ricci’s six ACM RecSys chair roles run from the doctoral consortium in 2007 to General Chair in 2017. Ricci chaired the ACM RecSys Steering Committee from 2009 to 2011, remains a current member, serves as an ACM TORS Associate Editor, and is an editor of the Recommender Systems Handbook. The recent chair column records a zero; his Steering Committee, editorial, and handbook work would not enter either chair column in the first place.

Pearl Pu’s six ACM RecSys chair roles also all predate 2020, beginning with Short Papers in 2007 and including General Chair in 2008. She also served on the ACM RecSys Steering Committee from 2008 through 2025.

Alexander Felfernig has five recorded ACM RecSys chair roles, from Liaison in 2007 through Program Chair in 2009 and later Tutorial and Workshop roles, all before the recent window.

“Since 2020” measures recent activity, not lifetime contribution.

Low counts, larger institutional contributions

Paul Resnick has two recorded ACM RecSys chair positions, in 2009 and 2010, but served on the Steering Committee from 2010 to 2017 and chaired it from 2013 to 2015. John Riedl, who died in 2013, had three recorded ACM RecSys roles, including Research Program Co-Chair of the first conference in 2007. Both were members of the GroupLens team whose collaborative-filtering recommender systems received the ACM Software System Award in 2010; Resnick later wrote the 1997 Communications of the ACM article Recommender Systems with Hal Varian and has written his own history of that work.

Derek Bridge appears once in the chair dataset, as Short Paper Chair in 2008. Bridge’s own service record identifies him as a co-founder of the ACM Conference on Recommender Systems and documents his long Steering Committee and Senior Program Committee service.

Lars Schmidt-Thieme and Zeno Gantner each have one recorded ACM RecSys chair role. Schmidt-Thieme served on the Steering Committee from 2009 to 2016. In 2009, Steffen Rendle, Christoph Freudenthaler, Gantner, and Schmidt-Thieme published BPR; Gantner later helped develop MyMediaLite, and ACM TORS lists him as a Distinguished Reviewer.

Outside the chair-defined population

A chair-defined population can also exclude people altogether. In the August 2026 Steering Committee snapshot used here, 45 unique current members remain. Twenty-two have no more than two recorded ACM RecSys chair roles, eleven have exactly one, and Emilia Gómez and Alípio Jorge have none.

Gómez and Jorge nevertheless have substantial institutional histories outside the chair-defined RecSys population. Gómez served as President of the International Society for Music Information Retrieval in 2018–2019. Jorge co-chaired ECML/PKDD 2015, along with other machine-learning and data-mining conferences.

Mounia Lalmas shows the population boundary from another direction. Lalmas is not in the 289-person dataset because she has no recorded ACM RecSys chair role, yet her official RecSys 2024 keynote biography lists co-chair roles at SIGIR 2015, WWW 2018, WSDM 2020, and CIKM 2023; she also delivered a keynote at ACM RecSys 2024. Lalmas currently co-chairs the WSDM Steering Committee, and in 2026 the University of Gothenburg appointed her an honorary doctor at its Faculty of Science and Technology with a focus on recommender systems. Her absence from the Other rankings is therefore a direct consequence of how I defined the population, not evidence of little conference service.

The Other tables answer a specific question: which people from the ACM RecSys chair population also organise the six neighbouring conference series? They are not rankings of the most active organisers of those conferences.

Service without chair titles

Even the Overall and Total columns count only conference-chair roles.

Barry Smyth’s entire ACM RecSys chair record is Research Program Co-Chair in 2007. Smyth remains on the Steering Committee and has repeatedly served on Senior Program Committees; Smyth’s profile also describes how his work connected recommender-systems research to practice through ChangingWorlds and HeyStaks.

Bart Goethals currently has one ACM RecSys chair row: Program Chair in 2026. Goethals is also an ACM TORS Associate Editor, co-created the open-source RecPack experimentation toolkit with Lien Michiels and Robin Verachtert, and co-founded Froomle. Goethals also leads the Recommender Systems specialty section of Frontiers in Big Data.

Education infrastructure is absent as well. Books on recommender systems, online courses and MOOCs, and recommender-systems summer schools organise and transmit knowledge, mentor new researchers, and bring people into the field. Recent examples include the RecSys Summer Schools in Copenhagen in 2023 and Bari in 2024 and the ACM Europe School on Recommender Systems in Vienna in 2025.

The same applies to journal editing, reviewing, Steering Committees, workshops outside the seven conference series, mentoring, doctoral supervision, datasets, and open-source software. Reviewers, Senior Program Committee members, meta-reviewers, session chairs, student volunteers, administrators, audiovisual and IT staff, venue staff, professional organisers, captioners, interpreters, childcare providers, and ACM staff all contribute to an ACM RecSys edition without necessarily appearing in these rankings.

The 289 people counted here are one visible layer of a much larger collective effort.

6. What I take away

Repeated service has different shapes. Chen and Loepp reach high ACM RecSys counts through very different kinds of recurrence. Boratto and Chen reach the same combined total at very different tempos. Hauptmann accumulated six ACM RecSys roles across three editions by handling Women’s Events and Publicity simultaneously; Konstan’s six ACM RecSys roles span twenty years.

Organisational activity also crosses conference boundaries. Some organisers first appear at ACM RecSys and later elsewhere; others first appear at a neighbouring conference and later at ACM RecSys. Santos spans five conference series, while Jannach has substantial records on both sides of the ACM RecSys/Other split.

Most importantly, chair counts remain a narrow measure of academic citizenship even after widening the time period and conference set.

Conference service has a peculiar property: when it works, much of it disappears.

The website loads. The programme exists. The proceedings arrive. Workshops happen. The microphones work. Students find their way into the community. Registration works. Reviewers receive their assignments.

That is why “thank you for your service” still seems appropriate to me. Conference service is one form of academic citizenship within a much larger collective effort. Most of that work produces no citation. Yet without it, there would be rather fewer papers to cite.

7. How I created the dataset

ACM RecSys defines the population. I reconstructed the available ACM RecSys organising committees from conference websites and committee pages. A person enters the dataset after holding, or being announced to hold, at least one recorded ACM RecSys chair position; for those 289 people I then collected chair positions at ACM SIGIR, ACM UMAP, The ACM Web Conference, ACM WSDM, ACM CIKM, and ECIR.

The Other tables are therefore not complete rankings of those six conferences. They contain only researchers who are also part of the ACM RecSys chair-defined population. Roles outside the seven series may appear as context but never enter the rankings.

The first-service-side field compares the first recorded ACM RecSys year with the first recorded year at the six neighbouring series. It is labelled “ACM RecSys” when ACM RecSys comes first, “Other Conference” when a neighbouring series comes first, and “ACM RecSys & Other Conference” when both first occur in the same year.

Every recorded chair position counts once; I do not weight roles by workload, seniority, or prestige. The tables use thresholds rather than fixed Top-N cuts so that ties at the boundary are not split arbitrarily. Announced future positions are included as set out in the scope note near the top.

For the service-density comparison, I divide the seven-conference role count by the inclusive span from the first to the last recorded role. This is a descriptive density over the recorded span, not a measure of workload or annual effort.

The reconstruction is best effort. Older sites disappear, some pages are incomplete, and titles change over time. When I find additional qualifying roles, I add them and recompute the counts. Corrections are welcome.

Claude and ChatGPT assisted with large parts of the data checking and editing. I reviewed the resulting data and remain responsible for the counts, interpretations, and any remaining errors.
