CHI PLAY is an international and interdisciplinary conference (by ACM
SIGCHI) for researchers and professionals across all areas of play, games
and human-computer interaction (HCI). We call this area “player-computer
interaction”.

The goal of the conference is to highlight and foster discussion of current
high quality research in games and HCI as foundations for the future of
digital play. To this end, the conference will feature streams that blend
academic research and games with research papers, interactive demos, and
industry case studies.

CHI PLAY grew out of the increasing work around games and play emerging
from the ACM annual conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI)
as well as smaller conferences such as Fun and Games and Gamification. CHI
PLAY is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group for Computer-Human
Interaction (SIGCHI).
