Hello Tux!

 

Welcome to the 2019/2020 season! In this message you will find information about all of the following:

 

  1. New Sponsor
  2. Editorial Board Addition
  3. Change in Format and Location
  4. 2019/20 Schedule

 

Note that our first speaker will be joining us next week at the Autodesk space in the MaRS facility. We hope to see you there! As always, Tux-HCI.org has the complete schedule and all the information you need to participate.

 

New Sponsor

We are very pleased to announce that Chatham Labs has joined us as a sponsor. This adds to the generous support provided by Autodesk Research, by Steven Sanders, and by the University of Toronto.

 

Editorial Board Addition

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Fraser Anderson has agreed to join the Tux editorial board, our all-volunteer crew which works hard to select an exciting slate of speakers for each season. Dr. Anderson boasts a decade of HCI research experience, as well as a wealth of interests that has brought a fresh perspective to the board.

 

Change in Format and Location

For 2019/20, we have narrowed our focus to the Sander Series Invited Lectures, and do not presently have any member presentations planned. This will allow us to focus on our external visitors, and ensure that the community has a chance to engage with these important thinkers in HCI. Note also that in February of 2020, we will be moving back to our original Sanders Series space in the auditorium at MaRS to accommodate our fast-growing community!
