[SIGHCI] Call for HCI Mini-Track Proposals for AMCIS 2026 (Deadline: October 18, 2025)

[Dave Wilson]

AMCIS 2026 Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Track, Sponsored by SIGHCI
We invite information systems scholars interested in HCI-related research to propose mini-tracks for the upcoming AMCIS 2026 in Reno, Nevada, USA (August 20-22, 2026).

The AMCIS 2026 HCI Track will provide a forum for AIS members to present, discuss and explore a wide range of issues related to Human-Computer Interaction and Information Systems. Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is an interdisciplinary area that has attracted researchers, educators, and practitioners from several disciplines. It essentially deals with the design, evaluation, adoption, and use of information technology, with a common focus on improved user performance and experience. New and exciting research opportunities are emerging, including issues and challenges concerning people’s interactions with various information technologies that can be examined from an organizational, managerial, psychological, social, or cultural perspective. This track welcomes papers that aim at advancing our understanding of human‐computer interaction at the individual, work group, organization, or society levels. Submissions may use any type of research method.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

•      Aesthetic and affective computing

•      Application of neuroscientific approaches to understanding human/technology interaction

•      Behavioral, cognitive, motivational, and affective aspects of human/technology interaction

•      Design considerations for IT security and privacy management

•     Design implications of diversity in users, technologies, and environments including but not limited to the elderly, the young, and special needs populations

•      Design implications of online user behaviors

•      Design, evaluation, and implications of social networking applications

•      Development and applications of multi‐dimensional information visualizations

•      Digital documents/genres and human information seeking behavior

•      Human‐centeredness and user‐centeredness in technology development and technology use

•      Impact of interfaces/information technology on attitudes, behavior, performance, perception, learning, and productivity

•      Interface design methodologies

•      Interface designs on new platforms such as mobile and ubiquitous technologies

•      Interface design, evaluation, and impacts

•      New HCI techniques and technologies

•      Personalization and adaptive interfaces

•      Psychological and social aspects of human interaction with technology, including trust, negative cognitions, etc.

•      Usability engineering; metrics and methods for user interface assessment and evaluation

•      Usability studies for end‐user computing in work or non‐work environment, especially in the Internet era

•   User interface design and evaluations for emerging application areas such as M‐commerce, electronic collaboration and negotiation systems, pervasive computing, and virtual worlds

•      User task analysis and modeling; fit between navigation scheme and task types

•      Virtual world and 3‐D web

•      Website design and evaluation

Included below is a list of HCI mini-tracks that were submitted and approved for AMCIS 2025, along with names and emails of the mini-track co-chairs. We would like to repeat these mini-tracks. If your interests are in line with these mini-tracks, please contact the previous mini-track co-chairs to express your interest in helping out with a mini-track this year. There is often a need for multiple chairs on any mini-track, and sometimes people do not have time to run the same mini-track again.

In addition, we look forward to receiving proposals for new mini-tracks as well. Mini-tracks are not limited to those previously conducted and we welcome new, exciting, and innovative mini-track proposals for the HCI Track. The proposal for a new mini-track should include a brief description of the mini-track and how it would contribute towards advancing HCI research in MIS. Mini-track chairs will be responsible for (a) promoting their mini-track to generate manuscript submissions to AMCIS 2026; (b) soliciting and assigning reviewers for manuscripts submitted to the mini-track; (c) providing a summary report to authors based on reviews; (d) making recommendations to track chairs about each manuscript submitted to the mini-track; and (e) nominating best papers and reviewers. Important dates and activities are identified below.

Important: Please note that selected best track papers will be offered the option to be fast-tracked to AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction (THCI; http://aisel.aisnet.org/thci/), an official AIS journal that is sponsored by SIGHCI.

Submissions are made exclusively through the online submission system: https://new.precisionconference.com/user/login. Sign in and then enter the following to get started:
