Announcements

Nominations for the 2025 SIGCHI awards are now open! Please submit nominations by midnight AoE on December 14, 2024.

We also newly invite SIGCHI Special Recognitions to honor contributions that may not be fully captured by our existing awards, such as Excellence in HCI Education, Community Building and Outreach, and more! These will help us identify new permanent awards to propose for future cycles.

See our awards webpage for details about the awards and nomination process!

We are holding a Conferences Town Hall on Monday, October 28th, 2-3pm UTC (the first of what will be quarterly town halls)! Find details on our event page.

Following the SIGCHI Futures Summit earlier this year, the EC has been focused on supporting our conferences—with logistics, finances, ACM OPEN, and more. Come meet our new Conferences Team, hear key updates about our conferences and publications, and discuss how we can further strengthen support!

This is open to past/present/future chairs and organizers of any of our conferences, but any attendees of SIGCHI conferences are also invited to listen and provide input.

The SIGCHI Exec has submitted our annual report, highlighting SIG developments over the 23-24 fiscal year! We've also posted on our Medium publication if you'd like to read it. Thank you to the many current and prior members of the Exec who contributed to this!

We are excited to share that, starting this term, we will be posting announcements here for the SIGCHI community to stay updated on news---big and small---from the SIGCHI Exec! We aim for Announcements to support awareness and transparency of SIGCHI's operations. Stay tuned for updates ranging from new open calls, to decisions made by the Exec, to initiatives from our committees.
