What's New at CHI 2001

CHI 2001 has extended a special invitation for submissions related to the conference theme: anyone.anywhere. See CHI 2001 Conference Special Areas for more information.

CHI 2001 has especially encouraged the submissions of groundbreaking basic research across the Conference Schedule. Recognizing the continuing need for establishing a research basis for investigations focused on enabling all users access to information technologies, CHI 2001 is committed to the inclusion of high quality, empirical investigations aimed at laying the groundwork for further research and development.

The CHI 2001 Development Consortium will focus on realizing the CHI 2001 goal of providing unique opportunities for bringing together diverse members of the global HCI community. This will be accomplished, in part, by the inclusion of Latin American researchers, designers, developers, and educators in the exchange of ideas, information, and accomplishments at CHI 2001 in Seattle.

CHI 2001 is revamping video submissions this year by eliminating video papers from the technical papers forum and video demos from the demos forum and introducing Interactive Video Posters. This new venue will enable highly interactive exchanges of ideas and breakthroughs in the community.

Acknowledging the plethora of employment opportunities within the CHI community and the need within our community to enhance communication between employers and potential employees, CHI 2001 will be providing special opportunities, including recruiting booths and the ability to reserve space for job announcements, in order to increase discussion and networking opportunities at the conference.

CHI 2001 is prepared to accept exclusively electronic submissions from the papers, short talks, interactive posters, development consortium, SIGs, and workshops venues in order to ensure accurate and efficient processing of contributions and reviews in the interest of offering the highest quality conference possible. Of course, if electronic submission is impossible, special accommodations will be made by the appropriate venue co-chairs.
