Accessibility

SUI values the diversity of our community and aims to be an accessible and inclusive conference. If you have any questions or concerns about accessibility, please contact the conference accessibility chairs at local@sui.acm.org, and they will work with you to address your concerns. Note that some requests may require advance notice, so please submit accessibility requests as far in advance of the conference date as possible in order to give us adequate time to prepare. The conference hotel offers the following:

• Barrier-free access to all conference rooms
• Two parking spots reserved for disabled parking
• Two wheelchair-accessible rooms

Children and Care Givers

We have options for child care. As this is very specific to the age of the child, the languages spoken and the need, please drop us an email to local@sui.acm.org and we are happy to find a good solution. When you register yourself, you can also register children and/or a care giver (for yourself or for the child).

• Children (10€) — registered children are welcome to attend any SUI event, including the Conference Banquet. No drink tickets will be included with child registration. You do not have to register your child, of course, but if you want to bring them to any of the events, they have to be formally registered so that they are covered by the ACM insurance.

• Care Givers (40€) — this registration category is for people providing care to the conference attendees with impairments or to the children of Conference Banquet. It grants the person access to all SUI events except the Conference Banquet. No drink tickets will be included with the care giver registration. If you would like your care giver to attend the Banquet, you will be able to purchase an additional Banquet ticket when you register your care giver.

Paper Presentation

As in previous years accepted papers will be presented in a single conference track, divided in thematically grouped sessions, with 3-4 papers in each session. Each session has an associated session chair, who will announce the presenter and the work and will moderate the Q&A phase after each presentation. You can contact your session chair for particular questions concerning your presentation. Please come at least 15 minutes before your session begins to test your presentation.

The presentation time is 25+5 minutes for full papers and 12+3 minutes for short papers. Nevertheless, we recommend to keep your presentation a bit shorter and allow more time for Q&A.

The presentation setup consist of two screens - one on the left and one on the right hand side of the presenter. On both screens the same 1080p image will be projected. The projection screens are about 2m wide. For the presenter’s computer a standard HDMI and 3.5mm sound connection is available. A Windows-Laptop may be available upon request.

• Projector with 1080p resolution and HDMI input
• Two 2m wide presentation screens (showing the same image) on the left and on the right hand side
• One lectern microphone & one wireless lapel microphone
• A DI box for audio from the presenter’s laptops with a 3.5mm mini-jack connector

Poster & Demo Setup and Presentation

• SUI 2018 will provide basic infrastructure for the demos, i.e., space, a 180x80cm table and power (230V, EU plug). Each demo stand will also be provided with a poster display.
• Poster displays are 1,40m high and 1,15m wide. Your poster must not be any larger than these dimensions.
• You can also present a slide to be shown during the poster/demo fast-forward session at the Symposium to describe and publicize your work.
• Please note that at least one author of each accepted poster or demo must be registered to present at the symposium. The author is also required to be available during the dedicated poster/demo viewing session.

Poster & Demo Fast Forward

More information about the Fast-Forward session will be available soon.

Gary Marsden Student Development Fund

In recognition of Gary Marsden’s contributions and inspiration in HCI4D and support of HCI in the developing world, ACM SIGCHI established the Gary Marsden Student Development Fund in 2015. This fund is especially intended for sponsoring postgraduate students (Master or PhD degree) from and currently based in developing countries to attend SIGCHI (co)sponsored conferences as well as other HCI relevant conferences. In the last one year, 21 students were awarded by the fund. (More details)

SIGCHI Student Travel Grant

The SIGCHI Student Travel Grant (SSTG) program is intended to enable students who lack other funding opportunities to attend SIGCHI-sponsored or co-sponsored conferences. This travel grant is intended to support students whose intention is to present at a SIGCHI-sponsored conference, not just attend. (More details)
