Apply to Serve on the Program Committee for CHI26 as an Associate Chair

The volunteer form to be an Associate Chair (AC) for the CHI 2026 Full Paper track is open until May 31st, 2025!

ACs do the work of finding the right reviewers for peer review at CHI; the role offers a good stepping stone to further involvement in the conference and the community. Please share broadly!

To volunteer, you make a “submission” to the CHI 2026 AC Volunteering track in Precision Conference (which is not on the Reviews tab, but on the Submissions tab).

The volunteer pool will be shared with the Subcommittee Chairs, who will use it as a tool to recruit ACs. If you are interested in serving a particular subcommittee, you might also reach out to the Subcommittee Chairs for that committee (once they are announced).

To volunteer:

  1. Log in to your PCS account.
  2. From the dropdowns, set Society to “SIGCHI”, set Conference/Journal to “CHI 2026”, and set Track to “CHI 2026 AC Volunteering”.
  3. You will then have an incomplete submission to that track. Choose “Edit submission”.
  4. Enter your information into the form and submit it!
