Message from the Posters Chairs

The Poster track provides the CHI community with an opportunity to present new and exciting contributions that showcase innovative technologies, extend prior research conversations, detail short, self-contained studies and case studies, or provoke new work and ideas to emerge. We welcome submissions on a wide range of topics and methodologies. Examples might include, but are not limited to:

  • An original and innovative technology, technique, case study, or prototype with or without an accompanying evaluation
  • A qualitative or quantitative study
  • A “sequel” to a prior research contribution
  • A “prequel” to motivate or provoke novel conversations or future work
  • A theoretical, methodological, or case study contribution that provokes novel conversations for the discipline

We encourage all members of the CHI community, particularly newcomers, to submit Extended Abstracts to elicit useful feedback, foster discussions, and share valuable, original ideas at the conference. All Poster submissions are non-archival. Authors may re-use and re-submit the content to other peer-reviewed and archival venues (e.g., could be reused in a future CHI full paper submission).

Publication Policies & Requirements

Authors must review ACM’s publications policies. Please read this separate page for them.

Metadata Integrity

The metadata is crucial to the integrity of the review process and author representation. Therefore, the paper submission deadline is a hard deadline for listing all author names; there are no exceptions. See the SIGCHI blog post for further information. Changes to the order of authors are allowed only during the Publication-Ready submission phase. If any of the authors need to be added or removed after the paper submission deadline, the authors would need to withdraw their submissions/papers. The affiliations entered in PCS during submissions are final. Affiliations used for submission must stay on the paper per ACM policy, only a secondary affiliation can be added. Title changes are only permitted only if specifically requested by the chairs.

Policy on Use of Artificial Intelligence

Authors must follow the standing policy on the use of artificial intelligence, such as large language models, in the creation of academic work. Please review the ACM Policy on Authorship before using these tools.

Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects

Any research in submitted manuscripts involving human subjects must comply with the ethics review requirements applicable to the authors’ research environment. As research environments vary considerably concerning their requirements, authors are asked to submit a short note to reviewers that provides this context. Please also see the 2021 ACM Publications policy on research involving humans before submitting.

Accessibility

Accessible submissions are essential for reviewers and are good practice. Authors are expected to follow SIGCHI’s Guide to an Accessible Submission. If you have any questions or concerns about creating accessible submissions, please contact the Accessibility Chairs at access@chi2027.acm.org early in the writing process (the closer to the deadline, the less time the team will have to respond to individual requests).

Preparing and Submitting the Poster

Poster work must be submitted via the PCS Submission System. The submission must include a paper and a poster, and may include an optional appendix.

  • Paper: The primary submission material consists of an extended abstract in the ACM Master Article Submission Templates (single column; up to 4 pages, excluding references).
  • Poster: The visual representation of the poster in size A0. Posters should include (1) the title, (2) a concise overview of the research, (3) clear illustrations of key aspects of their Poster paper submission, and (4) a compelling visual design. Posters might also include QR codes to link to online materials (e.g., scenario videos, interactive prototypes).
  • Appendix (optional): There is no page limit for the appendix. Note that the reviewers will be told that the Appendix should not form part of their considerations or significantly influence their review decision. Therefore, information that is essential to the understanding of the paper should not be in the appendix (e.g., study protocol, statistical analysis, etc.). The Appendix should be submitted in a separate file.
  • Supplementary material (optional): Material that is not needed to get a good understanding of the submission, but may provide additional details, e.g., for replication, may be included in the supplementary material (not in the main paper) and, as such, do not count towards the page limit. Please keep in mind that reviewers are not expected to have to check the supplementary material.
  • Key Discussion Points: An explanation of why the authors require a posted presentation of their work. This may include key discussion points or engagement ideas that benefit from conversations at the poster.

Submissions must be anonymous and should not include any author names, affiliations, or contact information. For more details, please refer to the CHI Anonymization Policy.

Review Responsibility

In line with the CHI Full Paper Review Responsibility Policy, poster authors must contribute to the peer-review process. At submission time, the authors must designate four review responsibility slots, each assigned to an author who will serve as a reviewer for the Posters track. These must be authors of the submission; non-authors cannot be listed. Declared reviewers must update their PCS profiles and participate in bidding to ensure accurate matching with reviewers. Review assignments will be made automatically.

The authors named in the four review responsibility slots are collectively responsible for completing all reviews assigned to them. Failure to complete any assigned review by the deadline will result in desk rejection of the poster submission, and no feedback will be provided. When selecting the four reviewers, teams are encouraged to distribute reviewing responsibilities ethically and fairly to avoid overburdening early-career researchers and to support a healthy, balanced review process.

Selection Process

Poster submissions are reviewed through an ACM Reviewed process and receive light feedback from reviewers. The criteria for evaluation are as follows:

  • Originality: Does this work present research contributions, nascent, or provocative ideas that will stimulate interesting conversation among CHI attendees?
  • Importance: How important is the problem or question that this submission addresses? Is there an audience at CHI that would find this work influential and/or compelling? Would the authors benefit from discussing their work with the CHI audience and vice versa?
  • Novelty: How does the work build on, or speak to, existing work in the area? Does it make a novel contribution?
  • Correctness: How well are the chosen methods described and justified within the submission?
  • Clarity of exposition: How clear, understandable, and targeted is the writing? To what extent does the abstract conform to all formatting requirements and the 6-page limit?
  • Discussibility: How well are the key discussion points formulated? How suitable are they for discussion at the conference?
  • Visual Poster Presentation: Does the poster represent the ideas from the written submission? Does the poster support conversations at the conference?

Please note that because we want to encourage nascent research through this track, submissions do not need to be as complete as a full paper submission, and as such, completeness of the work is not a direct review criterion.

The submission should contain no sensitive, private, or proprietary information that cannot be disclosed at the time of publication. All submissions are considered confidential during review. All rejected submissions will be kept confidential in perpetuity.

Upon Acceptance of the Submission

The corresponding author of a conditionally accepted Poster has to follow the instructions on preparing and submitting a final version of the proposal by the Publication-Ready deadline. If the authors cannot meet these requirements by the Publication-Ready deadline, the venue chairs will be notified and may be required to remove the proposal from the program. The publication-ready version has to follow the LaTeX and Word templates from ACM.

For publication, all accepted submissions must be in double-column format. In a double-column format, the text is not allowed to exceed 4 pages, excluding references. Adding appendices is not allowed; however, the authors may upload supplementary material with additional information. Moreover, their poster must be uploaded as PDF for publication in the ACM DL.

Should you need technical assistance, please direct your technical query to posters@chi2027.acm.org.

AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is when the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks before the first day of the conference. The official publication date may affect the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. For those rare conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM Digital Library after the conference, the official publication date remains the first day of the conference.

ACM Open

Content in this track will be published under ACM Open Access as an “extended abstract” article type. Extended abstract article types will not be charged an article processing charge (APC) for open access. For more information about which article types are subject to an APC, see the ACM article types summary.

At the Conference

At least one author of an accepted submission must register and present their work at CHI. If authors fail to register for the conference, their accepted work will be withdrawn from the ACM Digital Library.

In-person presenters will be assigned a time and location to present their poster to CHI attendees. Accepted contributions may be scheduled at any time during the conference. Authors should ensure their availability, as individual scheduling requests cannot be accommodated.

Note that during the poster presentation at the conference, we are not able to provide power outlets or any audiovisual/computing equipment.

Poster Presentations

Accepted authors have the option to present on-site or remotely via a pre-recorded video. Authors must indicate the presentation mode in the PCS Submission System by the Publication-ready deadline.

For on-site presentations:

  • Posters should be A0-sized. No template is provided. Note that the conference venue does not provide printing services. The conference recommends that the poster be printed before the author’s arrival at the venue.
  • Materials to hang the posters will be provided.
  • Optional: authors can upload a video presentations of their posters to the PCS Submission System by the Video presentation deadline.

For remote presentations:

  • Remote presenters must upload video presentations of their posters to the PCS Submission System by the Video presentation deadline.

After the Conference

Accepted Posters will be published as CHI Extended Abstracts in the ACM Digital Library.
