CHIIR
March 22, 2026 @ 8:00 am – March 26, 2026 @ 5:00 pm UTC-8
ACM SIGIR Conference on Human Information Interaction and Retrieval
CHIIR is a multi-disciplinary research meeting. In addition to studies of interactive systems, information interaction, and retrieval, we encourage submissions on related topics, including human-human information interaction, novel interaction paradigms, new evaluation methods, and related research in a range of communities such as sociology, education, ethnography, psychology, human-computer interaction, and other relevant disciplines.
As a well-known figure in the search community, an experienced and popular conference speaker and the organiser and host of many events including 5 years of Haystack, I can help you create and run events to inform, educate and inspire. I’m also available as a keynote or track speaker – watch some of my past talks. To discuss your event, get in touch.
