Workshops: Saturday and Sunday - April 22-23


CHI 2006 is the premier international conference for human-computer interaction.

From April 22-27, 2006, we will gather in cosmopolitan Montréal, Canada at the Palais des Congrès (Convention Center) in order that researchers and practitioners from all segments of the CHI community - design, education, engineering, management, research, and usability - can interact, inform and inspire each other.

Conference activities have been significantly enhanced this year to include a new set of courses which are integrated into the technical program and included in the base registration fee. The core days of the conference have been extended from three to four days (April 24-27).

CHI 2006 is your chance to explore in depth the latest work by researchers and practitioners in your area, as well as experience the breadth of work that is going on elsewhere in the field.

Join us.
