CHI 2009
Digital Life, New World
I arrived in Boston late last night, and managed to get dinner at the hotel restaurant before they closed the kitchen. This morning I got up early and registered for CHI 2009. I was happy to see that they went back to giving out canvas bags for holding the conference proceedings. The last two years they've given out cheap laptop bags, which I ended up throwing out. The CHI bags are favorites of mine for grocery shopping.
Just after I got up to the exhibit hall, I ran into my old Ph.D. advisor, Jim Hollan, and a few other collegues I know from past CHI conferences. It's great to see so many familiar faces.
Now I'm spending some time writing down a list of goals for myself at the conference this year. I'd like to:
1. Attend 5 sessions and write a summary report about each
2. Identify 3 key ways for theUEgroup to partipate in CHI2010
3. Give out 20 business cards
4. Talk with 2 publishers
5. Talk with 5 people who have posters or demos
6. Take lots of pictures with Dr. Croakie
7. Blog about the progress of my goals
Onward!
