Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to invite you to MobileHCI 2024, a premier conference organized by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and its Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI). MobileHCI, which began in 1998 and has been sponsored by ACM SIGCHI since 2012, offers a unique platform for academics and industry experts to explore the challenges and advancements in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) with a focus on mobile systems and services. This year’s conference will be held in Melbourne, Australia, marking the first time MobileHCI is hosted in Australia, from September 30 to October 3, 2024.

MobileHCI 2024 will feature a diverse program including keynote talks, paper sessions, posters/demos, student design competitions, industry perspectives, and three workshops. The theme for this year’s conference is Connecting Cultures. Australia, as a unique cultural hub, bridges ancient wisdom with modern technological advancements. With over 50,000 years of custodianship of these lands, the integration of ancient knowledge into contemporary solutions is increasingly relevant in addressing today’s challenges.

MobileHCI is renowned for its intellectually stimulating environment. It provides an excellent opportunity to engage in thought-provoking discussions, share insights, and gain valuable knowledge. Attendees will also benefit from the chance to collaborate with industry professionals and academic researchers, fostering the cross-pollination of ideas and exploring real-world challenges and solutions.
