Inspired by the Scottish tradition of meeting researchers from all over Scotland shortly before going to the ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems , we decided to start this tradition in Germany to bring the German HCI-community closer together.

The idea of a German Pre-CHI Event is to provide an opportunity for German researchers to present their accepted CHI papers and discuss them in a smaller circle. Additionally, we would like to provide an opportunity for younger researchers to get a taste of the quality of work presented at CHI and network with senior researchers. Therefore, everyone from students to professors interested in HCI are welcome.

The event is taking place over two days, which will include paper talks, coffee breaks with demo and poster presentations, and a social event on the first day.

Participation is free of charge. However, travel and accommodation costs are self-paid.
