CHI NL Community Event 2025 | April 10 | Enschede

The full-day CHI NL Community Event 2025 will take place at the University of Twente on Thursday, April 10, 2025.

We are happy to invite you to the: CHI NL Community Event 2025!

CHI NL is bringing the local HCI community together once again—this time at the University of Twente on Thursday, April 10, 2025!

As CHI 2025 approaches, before heading to the big stage, we are happy to invite you to a full-day smaller-scale event. Expect inspiring keynotes, engaging paper presentations, and networking opportunities in a relaxed and welcoming setting. We encourage both accepted and rejected submissions for CHI and other SIGCHI conferences. The goal is to provide an opportunity for researchers to present their work, receive feedback, exchange insights, and strengthen connections with fellow HCI enthusiasts. 

We look forward to seeing all our fellow HCI researchers from around the Netherlands for this cosy—gezellig—gathering! We are currently working on developing the program. Stay tuned for updates, we will share more information with you soon!

Registration for the event is free for all. 

Call for submission

Many researchers will have submitted papers to the ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems or other SIGCHI conferences. We welcome both accepted and rejected submissions from CHI and other SIGCHI events. Our sessions will provide authors with opportunities to practice their presentations or receive feedback for resubmission. Additionally, we invite HCI research groups to submit a poster showcasing their team and activities for the CHI NL community day. These posters help foster connections among attendees with shared research interests. The submission deadline is 21 March 2025, AOE.
