SICSA Pre-CHI Day 2024

We are pleased to announce that this year’s SICSA Pre-CHI day will be hosted by the University of Edinburgh on the 3rd May. This will be an all-day event, comprising of talks, posters, demos and social activities where work being presented at the 2024 ACM CHI conference by Scotland-based researchers will be shared, discussed and explored.

The event is an opportunity to celebrate Scottish success at this year’s CHI conference, help build links across the Scottish HCI community, and welcome HCI researchers who are new to Scotland. It also gives an opportunity for interested researchers who are unable to go to CHI itself this year to hear about work being presented at the conference, and to discuss in depth with researchers their latest work. We expect a mixed audience, including researchers of the Scottish HCI community as well as interested students and industry collaborators.

Are you a researcher based in Scotland with work accepted to CHI 2024 that you’d like to share with us as part of our event?

If yes, please do register by the 12th April so we can finalise the programme for the day. The registration form allows you to tell us some basic details about the work you’d like to share.

General registration for attendees will be open until the 30th April for in-person, and until the day before the event for online remote attendance.

Event programme to be announced closer to date of event.

The full details of the programme will be announced close to the date as it depends on the number of authors able to contribute talks to the programme.
