You may not believe it, but ACM Hypertext and Social Media conference maybe just he place your your HCI and/or Accessibility work. With average downloads per article running at 384 and average citations per article at 6.87 (according to ACM bibliometrics) this 100 person conference is comparable to CHI. So, now we’ve established it’s a good conference - what kind of work is there for the errant HCI’er? Well a quick look at the schedule should tell you, but lets look at the award candidates for the two awards given at Hypertext.

As promised an attempt was made at an ACM ASSETS 2012 Live Stream. There were two streams one of the Keynote and One of Session 1. Here are the archived versions. http://youtu.be/31k-xJUFQvQ http://youtu.be/HW-n2ro7RSY Remember to tweet the captioning - crowd source style - this is not an official ACM ASSETS broadcast. #Assets2012 ASSETS12 Conference Google Hangout

So we are coming very close to the W4A Paper deadline for the 2011 edition, indeed, it is on the 10-Jan-2011. The theme this year is ‘Crowdsourcing the Cloud: An Inclusive Web by All and For All?’. While Crowdsourcing the Cloud is the theme, please don’t be deterred if this somewhat unique area is not yours. The organisers would like to see all quality work on Web Accessibility regardless of the particular field within accessibility.
