We will be continuing our monthly virtual coffee hour on September 25! Please join us for open and informal conversation on anything related to conferences, community, and chapters. We made a small adjustment in the schedule for this month; details are below:

When: Thursday, September 25 at 11pm UTC (in your time zone) Where: https://acm-org.zoom.us/j/92663557052?pwd=LZXNxWVIbiS96t3RTBqN4fltCCkkzv.1

We’re excited to invite members to our new monthly coffee hour! This will be an informal space for open conversation around topics related to conferences, community, and chapters. As the community goes through big changes with ACM Open, geopolitical shifts, and more, these gatherings are a chance to share what’s on your mind and connect with us and other members. Some coffee hours may have a theme depending on current events.

Our first coffee hour will be on ACM Open: When: August 21 at 2pm UTC (in your time zone) Where: On Zoom

We’ll rotate times each month to accommodate different time zones. You can expect email announcements about future coffee hours. Whether you have thoughts or questions to share, or simply want to listen in, we’d love to have you there!

Announcing our new open call for volunteers (deadline Sept 30th)!

The SIGCHI Exec is supported by several committees. We are working with current chairs to review how committee remits can best support the SIG. The 16 committees we are currently recruiting for are listed in our call in bold.

If you are currently a volunteer, you can reaffirm your interest in serving in your role(s) using the form (linked above). If you are not currently a volunteer, but would like to nominate yourself or someone else, please use the same form.

We will close this call on September 30th, and work with committee chairs to match people to volunteer roles.

Further details, including committee-specific calls, are in our Medium blog post.
