History

The CHI conference series started with the Human Factors in Computer Systems conference in Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA in 1982. During this meeting the formation of the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI) was first publicly announced. ACM SIGCHI became the sponsor of the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems. The first CHI conference was held in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, in 1983. The second conference took place in San Francisco, California, USA, in 1985. Since then, CHI conferences have been held annually in spring each year. Till 1992 the conference was held in Canada or the USA. In 1993 CHI moved to Europe for the first time and was held in Amsterdam, Netherlands.[1]

Over the years, CHI has grown in popularity. The 1982 meeting drew 907 attendees. CHI 90 attracted 2,314. Attendance has been fairly stable since then.[2] After the early years CHI became highly selective. Since 1993 the acceptance rate for full papers was consistently below 30 percent. After 1992 the average acceptance rate was around 20 percent. The number of accepted full papers is slowly increasing and reached 157 accepted papers with an acceptance rate of 22 percent in 2008.[3]
