Workshops

OzCHI 2024 invites workshop proposals for full-day and half-day sessions that align with this year’s theme, ‘Beyond Being Human’, and ongoing topics of interest to the OzCHI community. We seek to stimulate debate and shape the future of human-computer interaction (HCI), interaction design, and interactive technologies. Workshops provide a unique platform for scholars, practitioners, and researchers to converge and delve into specific topics in an engaging and collaborative environment.

We are looking for workshops that can attract a broad interdisciplinary audience, encourage participant interaction, and promote community-building within the HCI field. Remote and hybrid attendance will not be offered as part of OzCHI 2024.
