NordiCHI 2000 was held in Stockholm, Sweden, NordiCHI 2002 was in Aarhus, Denmark, NordiCHI 2004 was in Tampere, Finland, NordiCHI 2006 was in Oslo, Norway, NordiCHI 2008 in Lund, Sweden, NordiCHI 2010 in Reykjavik, Iceland, NordiCHI 2012 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The conference is held in cooperation with ACM SIGCHI, to ensure publication of the NordiCHI proceedings through the ACM digital library. NordiCHI 2028 dates should be similar to the other NordiCHI conferences (late October). Make sure to avoid collision with other major competitive events. To be able to objectively decide upon a venue for NordiCHI 2028, we would like you to prepare a proposal describing the following: 1. Hosting organization: Note that the hosting organization should take full economic responsibility for the conference. The hosting organization's economic commitment must be specified in a signed letter of intent. 2. Venue: Describe the conference facilities as well as hotels and potential social program 3. Budget (plan): Especially when it comes to expected number of participants and registration fees. There is an expectation to pay approximately 5000 Euros to the NordiCHI organization from the conference surplus. This should be budgeted for. The NordiCHI steering committee expects the hosting organization to ensure low registration fees with discounts for students etc. Workshop fees should merely cover actual expenses per participant. The conference fee should include all social events such as the conference dinner. 4. Committee (plan): The general co-chairs and the programme chairs should be specified. 5. Profile of NordiCHI 2028: Describe the focus of the event and the reasoning behind. What will make NordiCHI 2028 something special? Profiling the conference can involve the conference theme. 6. Slogan or Theme. 7. Sustaining the NordiCHI spirit: Describe how the conference will be inclusive both with respect to subfields and various professions through announcing, introducing new participation categories etc. 8. Local HCI groups (academia, industry and society): How will the conference include the local HCI group(s) in the planning, preparation and execution of the conference? How will NordiCHI 2028 be an opportunity for participants to get to know the HCI communities of the country, and how will the conference be used to make the general public in the area aware of HCI issues? 9. Flexibility in terms of onsite, online, and hybrid participation. Other things of particular interest: Such as a decision to provide a specific submission category or providing any interesting new activities, social program etc. The next NordiCHI conference will be selected based on the attractiveness of the venue, the ability to make good use of existing HCI communities both within academy and industry, previous experiences in organizing similar events and the international recognition of persons in charge of the event. Proposals to host NordiCHI 2028 should be sent to the NordiCHI steering-committee at nordichihosting(a)gmail.com<mailto:nordichihosting@gmail.com> no later than May 7th, 2026. Decision will be made by the NordiCHI steering committee. Notification will be made in June 2026. First announcement of the event should take place at NordiCHI 2026 in Vaasa. For any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or any of the other members of the steering committee. Best regards, Eva Eriksson On behalf of the NordiCHI steering committee
