HCII 2026 will run as an 'on-site' Conference with the additional option for 'on-line' participation.

You are invited to participate and contribute through papers, posters, courses, workshops and student designs to this major international forum for the dissemination and exchange of up-to-date scientific information on theoretical and applied areas of HCI.

The Conference Proceedings will be published by Springer in a multi-volume set. Papers will appear in the LNCS and LNAI series, while poster extended abstracts will be published in the CCIS series. All volumes will be available on-line through the SpringerLink Digital Library, readily accessible by subscribing libraries, and indexed by a number of services, including: CPCI, part of Clarivate Analytics’ Web of Science; Scopus; EI Engineering Index; ACM Digital Library; Google Scholar; DBLP, etc.

Awards will be presented during the Opening Plenary Session to the authors of the best paper of each of the Thematic Areas / Affiliated Conferences and the best poster of HCII 2026.

The Student Design Competition gives to College and University students of all grades an opportunity to present their design idea, by submitting an abstract and a video clip (up to 5-minutes). Three awards will be presented, GOLD ($1000), SILVER ($500) and BRONZE ($250).

Exhibiting at the Conference is an ideal opportunity to display your products and services to an international audience of academics, researchers, professionals and users in the field of HCI.

Inspired by the World Café method, and following the success of its predecessors, the HCII 2026 Design Café will provide an opportunity for discussion and rethinking of important topics of global interest.

The World Usability Initiative (WUI) Design Challenge for 2025 under the theme ‘Emerging Technologies and Human Experience’ is open for submissions until 19 September 2025. Winners will be announced on World Usability Day, 13 November 2025. Three awards sponsored by HCII 2026 will be conferred during the Opening Plenary Session: GOLD ($1250), SILVER ($1000) and BRONZE ($750).
