About ACM/SIGCHI

ACM, the Association for Computing, is a major force in advancing the skills and knowledge of Information Technology (IT) professionals and students throughout the world. ACM serves as an umbrella organization offering its 80,000 members a variety of forums in order to fulfill its members' needs -- the delivery of cutting-edge technical information, the transfer of ideas from theory to practice, and opportunities for information exchange. Providing high quality products and services -- world-class journals and magazines; dynamic special interest groups; numerous "main event" conferences; tutorials; workshops; local special interest groups and chapters; and electronic forums -- ACM is the resource for lifelong learning in the rapidly changing IT field.

The scope of SIGCHI consists of the study of the human-computer interaction process and includes research, design, development and evaluation efforts for interactive computer systems. The focus of SIGCHI is on how people communicate and interact with a broadly defined range of computer systems. SIGCHI serves as a forum for the exchange of ideas among computer scientists, human factors scientists, psychologists, social scientists, systems designers and end users. Over 6200 professionals work together toward common goals and objectives.
