Last April I have been to Florence to attend CHI 2008. It was my first time at this enormous conference and I enjoyed it. It is a great forum for those researching Human Computer Interaction and I definitely want to attend the next one.
Well, the deadline are coming. Here is the Call for Papers, that includes some novelties like the Video submission, Contemporary Trends Submission or the Subcommittee Evaluation groups.
April 5-9, 2009, Boston, MA, USA, http://www.chi2009.org
Join us in Boston, MA for the 27th Annual CHI conference, the premier
international forum for all aspects of human - computer interaction.
CHI 2009 focuses on digital life in a new world. As our world moves online, we increasingly use electronic means to work, play, and communicate. CHI 2009 will showcase the research and design of innovative systems to help us
navigate this increasingly digital world.
CHI 2009 will be held in Boston, Massachusetts. Boston is home to over 100 colleges and universities and is one of the major technology centers of the
United States. Join us in Boston to celebrate the science and technology that brings our world to life!
Call for Papers
===============
The Human-Computer Interaction Archive
Archival Papers and Notes document work that makes a lasting and significant contribution to our knowledge and understanding of human-computer interaction.
The CHI 2009 Organizers have combined the review and submission processes for Papers and Notes, so they are no longer separate submission venues.
Submit by September 19, 2008
* Papers and Notes (archival format, 10 pages maximum for papers, 4 pages maximum for Notes)
* IMPORTANT CHANGE! The CHI 2009 Papers and Notes program committee will consist of subcommittees that each focus on a subset of topics in human- computer interaction. As an author, you decide which subcommittee reviews your paper. Choose the subcommittee that your believe offers the appropriate audience to review your research. You also will specify a contribution type that guides how the paper should be evaluated by reviewers. Authors should carefully assess the subcommittees and other changes described in the Papers and Notes Call for Participation. Ask any clarifying questions well ahead of the deadline.
Contemporary Trends
===================
Contemporary Trends provoke, intrigue, and inspire the CHI audience.
These submissions record the history of HCI practice and innovation outside of the scope of traditional archival papers.

Other new venues that extend the boundaries of the CHI Conference are sometimes hosted by the various CHI Communities, such as the Design Community Events and Design Theatre of CHI 2008. Additional venues for CHI 2009 will be added to this call as the community chairs develop specific plans for them.
CHI Madness
===========
Recent CHI conferences have a short opening session each day with 30- second synopses of all Papers/Notes and Case Studies that will be presented that day.
This session is known as CHI Madness. The CHI Madness Guide for next year's conference will be available here later.
