Dear colleagues,
as early bird registration for CHI is coming closer, we want to inform
you about the possibility to attend the Diversity & Inclusion Lunch.
The CHI 2016 conference will host its first Diversity and Inclusion
Lunch. Building upon the tradition of ‘CHI Women’s Breakfast’ at
previous conferences, this lunch is both an expansion of scope and
deepening of engagement with multiple aspects of diversity and
inclusion. These issues include but are not limited to race, ethnicity
and culture; age and professional experience; gender identity and sexual
orientation; (dis)ability and impairments; religious beliefs;
work-life-balance and needs of parents.
This lunch is intended as a social-peer platform to celebrate diversity,
discuss challenges, and collaborate on strategies to bolster diversity
and inclusion in the CHI community. During the lunch, a list of select
speakers will share their personal views and life experiences on
specific issues. These talks will highlight everyday challenges and
strategies and serve as prompts for table discussions among lunch
attendees. Attendees will then be invited to discuss related issues in
lunch table groups.
Important Details
* Lunch Buffet with several options (including vegetarians)
* $15 for students / $30 for others
* Only 500 seats are available for this special lunch program so
