CHI 98 Special Interest Groups (SIGs) enable groups
sharing an interest to
meet informally for an hour or two of discussion at the conference. CHI 98
provides meeting facilities and will advertise SIG meetings to the rest of
the conference. Proposals will be accepted until the conference opens on a
space-available basis. Proposals received by the deadline will be
advertised in the final program if accepted. SIGs accepted after that date
will be announced only at the conference.
Following the conference, SIG organizers are encouraged to submit an article summarizing the SIG for publication in the SIGCHI Bulletin. Additionally several SIGs have led to proposals for successful workshops at subsequent CHI conferences. Review ProcessSIG proposals will be reviewed by a committee, with acceptance based on the relevance of the theme to the field.The success of a SIG depends on organizers providing effective leadership and planning. Potential SIG organizers are encouraged to contact the Special Interest Groups Co-Chairs before submitting a proposal to discuss their ideas and any questions they may have.
