SIGCHI Policies

SIGCHI Bylaws

Bylaws of the Special Interest Group on Computer–Human Interaction (SIGCHI) of ACM.

SIGCHI Conference Policies

This page describes ACM SIGCHI policies regarding our conferences. Some of these policies relate to all conferences, while some relate only to the annual CHI conferences. Other policies are for the ACM SIGCHI Specialized Conferences program only. This SIGCHI Conference Policies page should make it clear to which conference type each policy applies.

SIGCHI Volunteer Reimbursement Policy

This new policy replaces both the SIGCHI Reimbursement Guidelines for SIGCHI Sponsored Conferences and the SIGCHI Reimbursement Policy and was approved by the SIGCHI EC and its effective date is March 23, 2016 and was most recently updated in Jan 2019.

Conflict of Interest Policy

SIGCHI is a professional organization led by volunteers. In the course of SIGCHI business, situations will arise where a SIGCHI decision-maker has a conflict of interest, or where the process of making a decision creates an appearance of favoring a SIGCHI volunteer. Please refer to ACM's Conflict of Interest Policy for definitions of conflict of interest and expectations for avoiding it.

Data Collection, Access, and Use Policy

The SIGCHI Data Collection, Access, and Use Policy governs the process of data collection and access in support of the activities of the SIGCHI Executive Committee (EC), and/or SIGCHI sponsored conferences’ steering committees, and/or the individual instances of SIGCHI sponsored conferences. It details how volunteers are to collect data, who can access data, how data is archived, and how data retention may be executed.
