#chi-2026 — Public Fediverse posts

This year at #chi2026 we had a Job Fair with Amazing Exhibitors, Interactive Demos, Breakthrough Posters, and Live Catalan Rumba Music!

Congrats to Jon Froehlich, Jacki O'Neill, & Volker Wulf as the 2026 recipents of the #SIGCHI Societal Impact Awards for 2026 at #chi2026!

This year @sigchi welcomed 11 new CHI Academy members at #chi2026! Congrats to them all for driving our community forward!

Tamar Makin & Dani Clode gave us an amazing closing keynote on With, Not For: Rethinking the Body (and Brain?) in Augmented Interaction at #chi2026! Across neuroscience and design, they argue for a shift from imitating the biological body to working with it—questioning assumptions about embodiment and extending the human form and the primacy of the five-finger hand.

The #SIGCHI Lifetime Service Awards went to Cliff Lampe & Helena M. Mentis at #CHI2026! Many thanks to them for their dedication, endeavors, and mountains of work they do for our community.

Last month Pep Gatell gave the opening keynote at #chi2026 which included a great discussion on art and technology and people (along with some interactive surprises!).

The most interesting question some folks asked me at #CHI2026 was: "did you not do a video with all the lab's paper this year?" Indeed, given the chairing work, I wasn't able too, but the enthusiasm of these folks helped me do it now 🙏! Here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VVtHGljuXI

Weekend fun: power hiking up a 28% hill 47 times from dusk till potential thunderstorm (way before dawn this year): 4405m elevation gain - less fit than last year and still conference jet lagged ⛰️ ⛰️ ⛰️ ⛰️ 🥇 🥱 https://strava.app.link/ejN1UOEbu2b #running #trailrunning #race #chi2026 #sportshci2026

What a week! I arrived back home safe and sound after an amazing week at @chi 2026 in #Barcelona.

During the week, I reconnected with old friends and colleagues and met some incredible new people in the #CHI family 👥

Attending the workshop on Interactive #AI for Human-Centered #Robotics (#InterAI), I presented our work on Adaptive AI in #HRI. 🧠🤖

At #CHI2026, we organized a joint lunch with our @mucConf 2026 team, handing out first #MuC merchandise 🙂

Happy to be part of the #CHI2027 crew 💛

The ACM SIGCHI Executive committee has created an open call to fill 11 spots on the 12-person ACM CHI Conference steering committee. #chi2026 #chi2027 (rt from Max Wilson) https://sigchi.submittable.com/submit/354142/open-call-for-the-chi-steering-committee

That's it... #CHI2026 done. Hope you enjoyed the program!

Thank you #CHI2026 for an amazing week of inspiring conversations in Barcelona!

Fun fact for #CHI2026 folks: The generated "Session Summary Podcasts" in the ACM DL "cite" the session's papers and are picked up by Google Scholar, so all papers get +1 citation automatically now...
