Special Interest Groups (SIGs)

Current SIG Schedule

Special Interest Groups (SIGs) enable groups sharing common interests to meet informally for discussion. SIG topics include new research areas, tools, methods, cultural diversity, industrial relations, and 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 96 provides meeting facilities and advertises the SIGs to the rest of the conference.

Participants are encouraged to organize SIGs in advance. SIG proposals that were received prior to December 15, 1995 will be advertised in the final conference program, scheduled into a reserved meeting room at the conference, and summarized in the CHI 96 Conference Companion.

Acceptance of SIG proposals after December 15, 1995 will be on a space-available basis. Proposals will be accepted before and at the conference. These proposals will be announced only at the conference.

SIG proposals should include the standard CHI 96 cover sheet (see the CHI 96 Call for Participation), and a one-page summary of the SIG with title, organizers, and planned participants. The summary must be in the standard CHI conference format.
