Cockney CHI 2026 is a gathering for London-based Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) researchers and practitioners, ahead of the CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in Barcelona, Spain.
Building on the success of previous pre-CHI event at UCL Interaction Centre in 2024 and King’s College in 2025, we aim to strengthen connections within the London HCI community, provide a supportive environment for rehearsing CHI talks, and offer a ‘slice of CHI’ to those who may not be able to attend the full conference.
Join us for a day of insightful presentations, networking opportunities, and a chance to experience the excitement of CHI in London!
Cockney CHI 2026 is kindly hosted by the Dyson School of Design Engineering at Imperial College London.
