* Important:

While the formal election cycle has closed, we are still in need of a nomination / self-nomination for the role of VP Sponsorship.

Our outgoing Officer, Ivy, is gracious in offering to continue carrying out activities of the portfolio for the month of October, but it would be wonderful if a successor could be identified in parallel. This way, they could ‘shadow’ Ivy and repeat the activities effectively next year. You may submit your (self-)nomination via email to me anytime.

Looking forward to seeing many of you at the upcoming ICIS 2025 event and the SIGHCI-sponsored events including the pre-ICIS HCI Workshop and Track Sessions!

Cordially / Cordialement,

Constantinos
