In 1996, I attended this conference called CHI. It was the annual gathering for the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction. It was amazing. My skull was cracked open and new worlds were poured into my brain. The plenary speakers, the panels, the research, the demonstrations… This is what I could do with computers!?!?! Yes, please!
I’m back for the first time in over 10 years. I’m way more experienced, I’ve designed dozens of products and hundreds (if not thousands) more screens, met many more UXers, and lived a lot since then. And I’m still full of anticipation for what I’ll see and learn this week. Stay tuned; I’ll be posting notes from the sessions I attend.
