Monday 7th July 8-10pm
Chalet Vicente, Estrada Monumental, n.º 238, 9000-100 Funchal
€20 Snacks and beer
Welcome aboard Pirate DIS 2025 – a treasure trove of design research, creative pictorials, and stories that need to be told. While these submissions were rejected for the ACM DIS 2025 conference, they represent diverse and valuable perspectives that didn't make it through peer review.
For one night only, we celebrate the work that pushes boundaries, challenges conventions, and opens new perspectives – even when they didn't fit neatly into the DIS conference. Every rejected paper tells a story. Every overlooked pictorial sparks imagination. Every alternative approach plants seeds for future work.
!0 Speakers, 8 mins each, beer and food!
When & Where:
8 - 10pm Monday 7th July

Ahoy researchers, designers, and creative rebels!
Join us for an evening of unconventional presentations featuring work that didn't make it into the official ACM DIS conference – but deserves an audience anyway.
No peer review, no gatekeepers, just a willing audience to listen to ten 8-minute presentations of papers, pictorials, artworks, and experimental ideas that break the rules. Whether the submissions was rejected, too experimental, or simply didn't fit traditional categories, come watch our pirates present.
