Nordic Pre-CHI Event 2024

Following the tradition of bringing the HCI community and friends together before going to CHI from other countries, we decided to start this tradition within the Nordic HCI community and host the first Nordic Pre-CHI 2024 this year in Stockholm at KTH Campus.

Time: Thu 2024-03-14 14.00 - Fri 2024-03-15 12.30

Location: KTH Campus

Export to calendar

The idea of the event is to provide an opportunity for researchers from the Nordic countries to present their accepted CHI 2024 papers and discuss them in a smaller circle. Additionally, it provides an excellent opportunity for younger researchers to get a taste of the quality of work presented at CHI and network with other peers, as well as senior researchers. Therefore, everyone from students to professors interested in HCI is welcome. The event is taking place over two days (March 14-15) and includes paper talks and lots of informal discussions. See the detailed program below.
