HCI & Design at the University of Washington will again have a large and quality presence at CHI 2026, the flagship annual conference for research and practice across all areas of HCI & Design. University of Washington authors contributed to 68 papers and journal articles that are to be presented at CHI 2026, including 4 selected for Best Paper Award recognition (selected as top 1% of submissions) and 10 selected for Best Paper Honorable Mention recognition (selected as top 5% of submissions).
This presence draws upon 11 different University of Washington programs. As in all aspects of DUB, interdisciplinary perspectives are the key to great research. Congratulations to all of these authors, and to our outstanding colleagues and collaborators from industry and universities around the world.
We are happy to celebrate a SIGCHI Societal Impact Award for Jon E. Froehlich and SIGCHI Special Recognitions for Kyle Johnson, Vicente Arroyos, and Liban Hussein. We similarly look forward to joining celebrations of many colleagues and friends. More in the announcement of 2026 ACM SIGCHI Awards.

As many of us head to CHI 2026, we look forward to connecting around this research!
