The ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) series of academic conferences is generally considered the most prestigious in the field of human-computer interaction. It is hosted by ACM SIGCHI, the Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction. CHI has been held annually since 1982 and attracts thousands of international attendees. CHI 2009 will be in Boston, USA.
History
The CHI conference series started with the Human Factors in Computer Systems conference in Gaithersburg, USA in 1982. During this meeting the formation of the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI) was first publicly announced. ACM SIGCHI became the sponsor of the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems. The first CHI conference was held in Boston, USA, in 1983. The second conference took place in San Francisco, USA, in 1985. Since then, CHI conferences have been held annually in spring each year. Till 1992 the conference was held in Canada or the USA.

The number of accepted full papers is slowly increasing and reached 157 accepted papers with an acceptance rate of 22 percent in 2008.
The CHI conference consists of multiple tracks, including:
- Case studies
- Full academic papers on a variety of topics (ubiquitous computing, understanding the Web, visualization, human performance, etc.)
- Workshops hosted by domain experts
- Invited panels on relevant topics
