13th IFIP TC9 Human Choice and Computers Conference: ”This Changes 
Everything” – in conjunction with the World Computer Congress, 17th-21st 
September 2018, Poznan, Poland.
Conference Chairs: David Kreps, Kai Kimppa, Louise Leenen, Charles Ess

Conference Theme - Track Chairs: David Kreps and Charles Ess

This Changes Everything. Many of us likely associate this phrase with 
Steve Jobs’ introduction of the iPhone in 2007. But there are clearly 
other candidates for the ”This,” e.g., the oncoming bioinformatics 
redesign of species or the fourth industrial revolution of artificially 
intelligent robots.  But ”This” is also, without question, the greatest 
challenge of our age: climate change.
Accordingly, the 13th Human Choice and Computers conference centers on 
the question: ICT and Climate Change - What Can We Do?
The Conference invites both academics and practitioners in the field of 
ICTs and Society to take stock of their engagements, review their focus, 
and assess what and how each and every one of us might be able to 
contribute to the transformations needed (and already beginning) in 
local, regional, national and international contexts, towards becoming 
the diverse, environmentally and socially conscious, and thriving 
communities.

We welcome submissions that speak directly and less directly to the 
conference theme. “This Changes Everything” implicates both climate 
change and the interrelated global challenges most central to the 
Working Groups of TC9 and its National Society representatives, 
including the UN Sustainable Development Goals.  Submissions are also 
welcome, not just to the General Conference Track on change, but to the 
other foci of the Track Themes.  (For complete track descriptions, 
please see the extended CFP on the conference website,
