HCII 2024 (Hybrid): Thank you for your participation

HCI International 2024, the 26th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, was held as a ‘hybrid’ event from 29 June to 4 July at the Washington Hilton Hotel, Washington DC, USA, under the auspices of 21 distinguished international boards of 504 Members from 49 Countries. The first three days of the conference comprised virtual only parallel sessions for paper presentations with remote only participation and hybrid tutorials and workshops. The Opening Plenary Session (on the 1st of July) and the parallel sessions for paper presentations (between 2-4 July) run as hybrid events, while the poster presentations and the exhibition (between 2-4 July) were held both in-person and remotely.

This year, 2316 individuals (1441 virtual and 875 in person) from 69 countries participated in this truly international in scope event, where the work of world leaders in the field was presented.

The conference program included:

  • 15 tutorials
  • 3 workshops
  • 290 parallel sessions (139 virtual and 151 hybrid)

Vicki Hanson (past President of ACM and current ACM’s Chief Executive Officer) joined us as the keynote speaker at the Opening Plenary Session. Her keynote entitled: "Technological Change for Improving Accessibility" was also her acceptance speech for the HCII 2024 award ‘HCI Medal for Societal Impact’.

62-volumes of the Conference Proceedings have been published by Springer in the LNCS, LNAI and CCIS series before the conference and are available on-line through the SpringerLink Digital Library, readily accessible by subscribing libraries.
In keeping with the established tradition, HCII 2024 also offered the option of “Late Breaking Work”, both for papers and posters, with the corresponding volumes of the proceedings, currently under preparation, to be published in autumn 2024 in the Springer LNCS and CCIS series.
All volumes together, published before and after the conference, will form the full set of the HCII 2024 Conference Proceedings, indexed by a number of services, including: CPCI, part of Clarivate Analytics’ Web of Science; Scopus; EI Engineering Index; ACM Digital Library; Google Scholar; DBLP, etc.
Springer also offers for sale on demand all volumes, individually and as a full set (after completion), in soft cover, with a significant discount for authors.

Prof. Gavriel Salvendy (Major Professor to 68 PhD students) held a Mentoring Session for PhD students with the following important topics: Development of a high impact PhD Dissertation and its effective dissemination; transition from a PhD student to industry professional; and transition from a PhD student to successful Faculty.

A Students’ Reception and networking social event, complimentary for registered student participants, took place in the evening of the 3rd of July, offering students the opportunity to get together and exchange ideas in a truly international and multicultural setting.

The last day of the conference coincided with the US Independence Day (4th of July) and the 40th anniversary of the HCI International Conference. The organized celebration included the US traditional festivities of the day, complimentary for conference participants.

Photos from the HCII 2024 Conference in Washington are now available on the Conference website, the HCII News Facebook page, and the LinkedIn Group.

We would like to thank each and every Conference participant for their invaluable contribution towards the success of this year’s Conference.
