• panels and SIGs that reflect on the foundations of our discipline, and look forward at issues affecting the community today, with topics ranging from outsourcing to the CHI Papers process.

If you are viewing this disc at the conference, we invite you to interact with these authors during the Highlights on Posters sessions on Wednesday and Thursday in the Commons; check your conference program for more information.On a personal note: bringing together such a large and diverse program is no small task, and I am grateful to the dedication of our venue chairs and Web master - from developing the Calls for Participation and handling the submission/review process, to dealing with my endless requests for information and scheduling conference sessions. Many, many thanks for volunteering your efforts for over a year to make this conference happen!
