CELEBRATING<br />
50 YEARS<br />
OF COMPUTING’S<br />
GREATEST<br />
ACHIEVEMENTS<br />
Since its inauguration in 1966, the ACM A. M. Turing Award has<br />
recognized major contributions of lasting importance in computing.<br />
Through the years, it has become the most prestigious technical award<br />
in the field, often referred to as the “Nobel Prize of computing.”<br />
During the next several months, ACM will celebrate 50 years<br />
of the Turing Award and the visionaries who have received it.<br />
Our aim is to highlight the significant impact of the contributions<br />
of the Turing Laureates on computing and society, to look ahead<br />
to the future of technology and innovation, and to help inspire the<br />
next generation of computer scientists to invent and dream.<br />
Our celebration will culminate with a conference on June 23-24,<br />
2017 at the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco with lively moderated<br />
discussions exploring how computing has evolved and where the field<br />
is headed. We hope you can join us there, or via the web—we will be<br />
streaming the sessions in real time.<br />
