CHI 2027 — ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

CHI 2027, the ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, runs 10-14 May 2027 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. CHI is the flagship venue for human-computer interaction and, as generative systems moved from model quality to interface quality, it has become the main venue where human-AI interaction is studied empirically — how people delegate to, trust, over-trust and recover from AI systems. The 2027 theme is 'Bridges', chosen for Pittsburgh's yellow bridges and for HCI's role connecting people and technologies; general chairs are Amy Ogan and Anind Dey of Carnegie Mellon University, whose location gives the edition an unusually strong robotics and applied-AI host community. The programme spans Papers, Panels, Workshops, Meet-Ups, Posters, Interactive Demos and a Student Research Competition, each with its own submission cycle.

• ✓Heads of design and product research

• ✓UX research leaders and design system owners
• ✓Accessibility and responsible-AI practitioners
• ✓CTOs and VPs shipping user-facing AI features
• ✓HCI academics and PhD students

Most enterprise AI failures now happen at the interface, not the model: people do not trust the output, cannot tell when it is wrong, or quietly stop using it. CHI is where that is studied with actual users and published under peer review, so a product or design leader can leave with evidence on delegation, disclosure and recovery patterns instead of a competitor's screenshots. The workshops and interactive demos are worth a day on their own, the Pittsburgh host community brings CMU robotics and applied AI into the hallway track, and May in a mid-size US city keeps travel costs modest.

• ✓Papers track with reviews-released and resubmission stages
• ✓Workshops programme (organiser proposals due October 2026)
• ✓Panels track
• ✓Interactive Demos track
• ✓Posters track and Student Research Competition
• ✓Meet-Ups programme
• ✓'Bridges' conference theme running through the programme

• ★The flagship HCI conference, and the venue where human-AI interaction is measured with users rather than benchmarked on datasets — the evidence base for whether an AI feature actually helps anyone
• ★Themed 'Bridges' and chaired by Amy Ogan and Anind Dey of Carnegie Mellon, hosting it in a city with an unusually deep robotics and applied-AI research base
• ★Seven distinct submission categories (Papers, Panels, Workshops, Meet-Ups, Posters, Interactive Demos, Student Research Competition), each on its own cycle, so late-breaking work still gets in
• ★Papers go through a review-and-resubmission cycle rather than a single accept/reject, which is why CHI work arrives already revised against reviewer objections
• ★One of the few top-tier venues where accessibility and inclusive design sit in the main programme rather than a satellite workshop

CHI 2027 has not published registration rates as of August 2026 — the site currently carries the submission calendar only. CHI normally offers ACM/SIGCHI member, non-member and student tiers with an early-bird cutoff, posted after the programme is set in early 2027.
