CHI Parties

The theme of CHI 2019 is ‘Weaving the Threads of CHI’ and a key commitment of the organising team is to promote a ‘weaving of attendees’ as inclusively as possible. The parties listed below are hosted by industry and academic organisations and, while not officially under the CHI organisers’ remit, they are open to all CHI attendees on first-come first-serve basis.

This list will be updated during the conference as party organisers provide more details, so check back soon for more events!
