The CHI conference features a full program of presentations, tutorials and vendor exhibits.
Participants come from both academia and industry, from around the world.
This annual conference is the premier worldwide forum for the exchange of information on all aspects of how people interact with computers. The CHI conference is traditionally supported by industry organizations.
