Streamlining the CHI publication process

5 January 2011

Beginning with CHI 2011, authors will be able to upload their final publication-ready (aka “camera-ready”) versions to PCS (rather than redundantly uploading the same info to the publisher’s site). All revisions to content or corrections to formatting will be collected on PCS only. Please follow the formatting instructions at this URL to minimize the number of corrections that the publisher will require: http://chi2011.org/authors/pub-ready-format.html.

The deadline for submitting workshops and Interactivity submissions is now 22 October 2010. (Previously 8 October 2010)

Shorter (Higher Energy) Talks so you get to see more of CHI

10 August 2010

In an effort to increase energy at the conference, as well as the proportion of overall content that attendees get to see, we are shortening presentation slots at CHI 2011. Authors will prepare presentations that convey contributions more succinctly since all long talks will be 20 minutes rather the traditional 30, and short talks 10 minutes rather than 15. Because this means fewer parallel sessions, presenters can probably expect larger audiences. Sessions will be 80 minutes rather than 90, which provides more time for breaks, where much of the fun networking, interaction, and connecting happens. Conveniently, all sessions will start on the hour (9am, 11am, 2pm, 4pm), so the schedule is easier to remember. More details here.
