SIGCHI (Special Interest Group On Human Computer Interaction)

The Special Interest Group on Computer–Human Interaction (SIGCHI) is one of the Association for Computing Machinery's special interest groups which is focused on human–computer interactions (HCI). It hosts the flagship annual international HCI conference, CHI, with around 2,500 attendees, and publishes ACM Interactions and ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction (TOCHI). SIGCHI was formed in 1982 by renaming and refocusing the Special Interest Group on Social and Behavioral Computing (SIGSOC). Lorraine Borman, previously editor of the SIGSOC Bulletin, was its first chair.[1] SIGCHI is governed by a set of by-laws and SIGCHI’s Elected Officers are the President, the Executive Vice-President, the Vice-President for Membership and Communications, the Vice-President for Finance, and two Vice-Presidents at large. SIGCHI has two membership publications, the SIGCHI Bulletin and ACM Interactions.
