Welcome to NordiCHI 2026: Pulse – exploring the energy that drives us!
We are happy to host you at NordiCHI, one of the key international conferences in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)! The event brings the community together from a wide range of perspectives from theoretical and practical insights to creative explorations.
Keynotes at the conference include Professor Yvonne Rogers, Professor Mattia Thibault, and Senior designer and Deputy Professor Pontus Wärnestål. Proceedings of the conference will be published in the ACM Digital Library within its International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS).
The conference theme Pulse – exploring the energy that drives us represents the dynamic highs and calm lows of life, keeping us thriving. Vaasa is known for both its vibrant energy industry as the Nordic energy cluster and the tranquility of its surrounding nature and UNESCO World Heritage site. Therefore, Vaasa serves as the perfect backdrop for exploring the elements of life in the coming ages of HCI.
Join us in-person in Vaasa in October 2026!
