I: SIGCHI Equity Talks: SIGCHI Across Chapters (May 27)

by Maristella Matera

FYI Cari saluti, Maristella Da: Neha Kumar <neha.kumar(a)gmail.com> Inviato: domenica 23 maggio 2021 02:54 A: Eunice Sari <eunice.sari(a)gmail.com> Oggetto: SIGCHI Equity Talks: SIGCHI Across Chapters (May 27) Dear SIGCHI chapters and friends, Our next SIGCHI Equity Talks session, titled SIGCHI Across Chapters, will be held on May 27, 11.30am GMT. It will be co-organized by Eunice Sari (VP for Chapters) and myself (VP at Large). In this roundtable session, we will discuss prior and ongoing efforts to support and promote chapters, and how these efforts might be further cultivated towards the success of SIGCHI as a global institution. Chapters are of varying sizes across the globe, and feature different emphases on research vs. practice, different sizes, and different challenges facing sustainability and growth. We invite participation from all chapters, in the hope that this discussion can help in brainstorming approaches to support greater learning and exchange across chapters. The questions we propose to address are as follows: Naming the Problem(s): What are the challenges that chapters find themselves facing in being a part of SIGCHI that SIGCHI could better address? Fostering Solidarity: What might a more inclusive, supportive infrastructure and culture within SIGCHI look like for supporting chapters? Identifying Nuance: What are some barriers chapters might face in this regard? How do these impact different chapters differently? Actions Towards Change: Where does the responsibility for change lie, and what actions can and should SIGCHI take to effect this change? Join us on Zoom: https://acm-org.zoom.us/j/93907948324?pwd=SEsvZlUyakc1a1hUNnZ2K2czV2RJZz09 Ask questions on Sli.do: https://app.sli.do/event/owzhgesl Join SIGCHI's Discord server: https://discord.gg/nAYVdWSpgZ Read more about our Equity Talks here: https://medium.com/sigchi/equity-talks-sigchi-7b38b8e3477 Please forward widely, and apologies for cross-posting! Thank you, Neha Kumar (SIGCHI VP at Large) & Eunice Sari (SIGCHI VP for Chapters)

CHItaly 2021, July 11--13, Bolzano-online: keynotes, program, registration

by chitaly2021

Dear all, we are glad to announce the keynotes of CHItaly 2021, the hybrid program of the conference and how to register for it. --------------------------- KEYNOTES --------------------------- We are excited to present the two keynote speakers of CHItaly 2021 (https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/keynotes.html): 1) Prof. Albrecht Schmidt (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität) will open the conference on July 12th, talking about "THE END OF SERENDIPITY: Will Artificial Intelligence Remove Chance and Choice in Everyday Life?"; 2) Prof. Paola Bertola (Politecnico di Milano) will close the conference on July 13th, talking about: "FASHION WITHIN THE BIG DATA SOCIETY: How can data enable fashion transition towards more meaningful and sustainable products?". --------------------------- PROGRAM --------------------------- The hybrid program includes a number of interesting events, besides its keynotes: presentations of long and short research papers, workshops, interactive experiences, the doctoral consortium, social events. For details, kindly refer to https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/index.html The program will be completed in due time. Meanwhile you may want to reserve the following dates in your agenda for CHItaly 2021: from Sunday the 11th of July, early afternoon, to Tuesday the 13th of July at 22:00. --------------------------- REGISTRATION --------------------------- Given its hybrid nature, CHItaly allows for two types of participation: either physical or virtual. Furthermore, due to the current uncertainty concerning travelling regulations in Europe, CHItaly adopts a 2-step registration process. STEP 1). Attendees, willing to benefit from the early-bird rate, *must* register their intention to participate - either physically - or virtually by June 7 (strict). NOTA BENE: at least one author for each long/short research article, at least one workshop organiser and at least one interactive experience organiser are requested to register by June 7 (strict). After June 7, registrations will be considered late. STEP 2). Payments are purposefully delayed. They will be based on the Step-1 registration choice. The conference organisers will allow to modify a physical into a virtual fee in case of serious COVID-19-related reasons. Payments for both physical and virtual fees will close on June 30. No on-site registration will be possible. Please, refer to https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it/registration.html for up-to-date and detailed information as well as for registering for CHItaly 2021. We apologise for the delay of this communication, due to the complexity of ensuring compliance with the COVID-19 regulations in South Tyrol, Italy, and Europe. We are committed to providing you with a safe and entertaining environment and warmly invite you to attend in presence. Yours sincerely, CHItaly 2021 Organising Committee https://chitaly2021.inf.unibz.it
