Additional Conference Activities

Additional Conference Activities

 Additional activities will be featured throughout the conference. All conference attendees are welcome to participate in these events.

Video Program

The Formal Video Program is an important part of the technical program. The video contributions come from researchers and practitioners around the world and serve as a showcase for a wide variety of innovative HCI design, tools and interaction techniques. The program also includes video figures from some of the conference technical papers. The Formal Video Program is shown continuously, Sunday through Thursday, in most conference hotel rooms.

NEW! CHI 97 Video in Registration Package

For the first time, a copy of the Formal Video Program is included as part of the attendee registration package. Additional copies of the Formal Video Program can be purchased at the CHI 97 Store.

Informal Videos

Attendees are invited to bring videotapes showing their recent work. These videos can be left at the Information Booth on the Exhibit Level outside the Grand Hall for others to view during the conference. Several viewing stations will be available, each set with a VHS/NTSC video player and a monitor. At least one station will also be equipped to play PAL and SECAM videotapes. Past CHI videos will be available.

Interactive Posters

Interactive Posters provide an excellent opportunity to discuss late-breaking results and ongoing work during the presentation. Interactive Posters remain posted throughout the conference. Presenters will be available at their posters on Wednesday from 10:30-11:30 am.

Informal Demonstrations

CHI 97 participants interested in showing their works in progress or late-breaking works are encouraged to schedule a presentation in the CHI 97 Informal Demonstration area. Informal Demonstrations may be scheduled in advance through the Demonstrations Co-Chairs or you may schedule on site. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring their own hardware and software.

CHI 97 will provide only a flip chart and some basic equipment. At least one IBM PC compatible and an Apple Macintosh will be available with Internet access and built-in audio support. No external speakers, external CD-ROM drives or ZIP drives will be provided. Participants with more extensive equipment needs should contact the Demonstrations Co-Chairs.

Special Interest Groups (SIGs)

Special Interest Groups (SIGs) enable people sharing common interests to meet informally for discussion. SIG topics can include new research areas, tools, methods, cultural diversity, industrial relations or social implications of computing. Anyone can organize a SIG and anyone can attend (you don't have to be a `member' of these groups). CHI 97 provides meeting facilities and advertises the SIGs to the rest of the conference.

Participants are encouraged to organize SIGs in advance. SIG proposals received prior to 24 January 1997 will be considered for inclusion, and if accepted will be advertised in the final conference program, scheduled into a reserved meeting room at the conference and included in the CHI 97 volume of Extended Abstracts.

SIGs may still be proposed after 24 January, up to and at the conference, but if accepted will be announced only at the conference.

SIG proposals should include the standard CHI 97 cover sheet (see the CHI 97 Call for Participation on the CHI 97 web site at http://www.acm.org/sigchi/chi97/call/format/cp.html), and a one-page summary of the SIG with title, organizers and intended audience. The summary must be in the standard CHI conference format.

For more information about SIGs, or to submit a proposal, contact:

ACM/SIGCHI Business Meeting

Wednesday, 26 March, 6:30 pm

The annual ACM/SIGCHI Business Meeting will be held after the last session of the day on Wednesday. The meeting is open to all conference participants. Please attend!

GVU Demo Day for CHI

The GVU Center will open its doors to attendees of the CHI '97 conference with an evening of demos in the GVU Lab. Your host will be GVU Director Jarek Rossignac, an internationally known researcher in the field of 3D graphics. We'll have a dazzling display of research in graphics, visualization and usability.

Interface Space

The Interface Space is the meeting space for the conference where you'll find Exhibits, Informal Demonstrations and Interactive Posters. It contains seating areas, message and information centers and sign-up sheets for informal SIG meetings. It is the place to go for food and drink during the breaks, and where you can browse through the exhibits and view the interactive posters. It's the perfect place to meet with old or new friends or just relax between sessions.

If someone is coming with you to Atlanta, but not attending the conference, an Accompanying Persons registration of US$95 will provide them access to the Interface Space, amongst other things.
