MobileHCI 2027 — ACM International Conference on Mobile Human-Computer Interaction
by ACM SIGCHI
"Connecting Realities" — mobile and wearable interaction research, Limassol, September 2027.
About This Event
MobileHCI 2027, the ACM International Conference on Mobile Human-Computer Interaction, runs 20–23 September 2027 at the St. Raphael Resort & Marina in Limassol, Cyprus, organised by the University of Cyprus and the CYENS Centre of Excellence under the theme "Connecting Realities". SIGCHI describes MobileHCI as a conference that "brings together people from diverse areas and provides a multidisciplinary forum for academics, hardware and software developers, designers and practitioners to discuss the challenges and potential solutions for effective interaction with and through mobile devices, applications, and services". The 2027 theme asks how mobile technologies bridge diverse forms of existence across cultural contexts and lived experiences. The submission timeline is already public: abstracts 10 February 2027, full papers 17 February 2027, notifications 15 April 2027 and camera-ready copy 15 June 2027.

Why Attend
On-device AI has moved the hard problems from the model to the interface: what a phone should interrupt you for, how an agent asks permission, what a wearable shows when it is uncertain. MobileHCI is where that evidence is generated and peer-reviewed. A head of product or design leader gets controlled studies instead of vendor demos, four days with the researchers whose findings land in next year's OS and handset releases, and a September slot in Cyprus that costs materially less to attend than the equivalent North American conference.

What Makes This Unique
- ★An ACM SIGCHI-sponsored conference dedicated specifically to interaction with and through mobile devices, applications and services, rather than a mobile track inside a general HCI venue.
- ★The 2027 theme, "Connecting Realities", frames the whole programme around how mobile technology bridges cultural contexts and lived experiences — the human side of on-device AI.
- ★Hosted jointly by the University of Cyprus and the CYENS Centre of Excellence, putting a European research centre rather than a platform vendor at the centre of the programme.
- ★The complete submission and registration timeline is already published a year out, including an early-bird registration cut-off of 20 August 2027.
