Welcome to CHI 2007!
CHI is the premier international conference on human-computer interaction (HCI). This year we gather to celebrate our 25th anniversary: reflecting on all that we have accomplished in the past quarter century, while reaching beyond to the challenges and opportunities of the next.
CHI 2007 builds on many of the innovations introduced at CHI 2006 in Montréal. The main conference program again takes place over four days; courses are scheduled in parallel with other program sessions; the conference reception is situated in the exhibit hall; and each day includes a CHI Madness preview. In keeping with the “Reach Beyond” theme you’ll find considerable variety in program content. We focused particularly on expanding the coverage of course offerings to meet the many interests of our communities: design, education, engineering, management, research, and usability. Committee members have also organized a number of invited interactive sessions to appeal to different communities.
You will see a few changes as well. We have closely integrated the interactivity program with the exhibits and will feature these hands-on demos along with the exhibits during the reception on Monday night. We’ll also highlight some of the most interesting content from interactivity exhibits during the “I in CHI” session later on in the week. Work-in-Progress will be on display in the Concourse, as an informal complement to the technical sessions held in meeting rooms. Be sure to cast your vote for the poster(s) you find most interesting, so that we can recognize these “People’s Choice” projects on Thursday. For the first time, we are hosting an ACM Student Research Competition, an event that complements the CHI Student Design Competition, with a focus on individual student research projects. Also for the first time we have arranged for presentations by three SIGCHI 2007 award winners.
Because 2007 is CHI’s 25th anniversary, you will encounter many activities that are aimed at evoking and sharing our community’s memories and accomplishments from over the years. Look for ribbons, stickers, and other indications of attendees’ involvement in past CHIs. Admire the photo essay designed by Ken Korman, drawing from the large set of photos that Ben Shneiderman has taken over the years. Contribute to the participatory CHI timeline project with your own memories, artifacts, or comments. Come to the 25th anniversary party after the closing plenary!
San Jose as the location for CHI’s 25th anniversary is especially fitting, given the substantial contributions that HCI researchers and practitioners from the Silicon Valley have made over the years. Get outside to explore the area using the maps and other information we’ve included here, or that you can obtain from student volunteers or local attendees. Schedule lunches and dinners with old and new friends at area restaurants. Visit the Tech Museum and other local attractions. And for those of you who will be here an extra day (and have signed up in advance), check out the lab tours that area companies are offering on Friday. As always at CHI, there is much to do, much to see, much to learn.
Enjoy! Mary Beth Rosson David Gilmore Conference Chair Technical Program Chair
