This year’s edition of the ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, widely regarded as the leading venue in Human-Computer Interaction, was held in Barcelona, Spain from April 13 to 17, 2026. Under the theme “Creant el demà junts” (“Creating Tomorrow Together”), the conference brought together researchers, designers, and practitioners from around the world. Six members from the IML team (Raimund Dachselt, Mats Ole Ellenberg, Julian Baader Katja Krug, Susmita Khadse, Weizhou Luo) attended the conference, contributing two full papers, one submission to the Student Mentoring Program, and four workshop submissions.
