Posters constitute short papers reporting scientific results or professional news. Posters are particularly well-suited for introducing new ideas or work in progress.
Accepted submissions will be included in the Conference proceedings to be published by Springer in the Computer and Information Science (CCIS) series.
Present your novel ideas in a simple, concise and visually appealing manner to acquire feedback from an international community of HCI academics, researchers and practitioners.

What to submit:
Submit a 300-word proposal that clearly communicates the essence of the work you plan to present.
You should include references, figures, and tables as/if necessary. References and figures do not count toward the 300-word limit.
Poster proposals are suitable for:
- research findings;
- work in progress;
- emerging ideas or approaches;
- innovative applications;
- design or development work; and
- relevant professional developments.
The proposal should be sufficiently detailed for reviewers to understand the purpose, relevance, and contribution of your work.
What should your proposal include?
Each proposal should include:
- Objective and relevance: Clearly explain the problem, question, idea, or challenge addressed by your work;
- Approach: Briefly describe the research method, design process, technical approach, case study, conceptual framework, or professional practice underlying the work;
- Results or current status: Summarize the main findings where results are available. For work in progress, explain what has been achieved so far and what you expect to learn or demonstrate.
Ready to submit?
Before submitting, make sure that:
- your proposal is approximately 300 words (excluding references);
- the objective and significance of the work are clear;
- the methods or approach are described;
- current status, results or expected findings are included;
- the work complies with the originality requirements.
How proposals are reviewed
All poster proposals undergo peer review by at least two independent reviewers from the HCII International Program Boards.
The review process of the HCI International Conference is single-blind: reviewers can see the names and contact details of the authors associated with the submission.
Reviewers consider the following criteria:
- Relevance: Is the proposed work clearly relevant to Human–Computer Interaction and appropriate for the Conference thematic areas and affiliated conferences?
- Clarity: Does the proposal communicate within the available space what the work is about, what problem or question it addresses, and what the authors are proposing, investigating, developing, or reporting?
- Contribution: Does the proposal make clear why the work is of interest and what does it contribute to existing knowledge or practice?
If your poster is accepted
Acceptance of your proposal is the first step. You will then prepare your contribution for publication and presentation at the Conference.
Prepare your short paper
Authors should prepare a camera-ready poster extended abstract in the form of a short research paper for publication in the Conference Proceedings.
Camera-ready requirements:
- Short papers are typically 6 pages. They must be at least 4 pages and no more than 11 pages;
- The camera-ready paper must be submitted in an editable source format - LaTeX or Microsoft Word (DOCX) - and PDF format. Authors are strongly encouraged to use LaTeX, particularly for papers containing mathematical notation or complex layouts.
Springer templates and detailed instructions for preparing the camera-ready paper will be provided.
Originality and publication ethics
All submissions must present original work.
A submission must:
- be free from plagiarism;
- not have been previously published in any form or language; and
- comply with Springer’s publishing policies and code of conduct.
Authors are responsible for ensuring that their submission satisfies these requirements.
Publication
Before publication, the camera-ready submission of accepted proposals are checked by the Conference Organizers for consistency against the original submissions and the Springer's Book Publishing Policies and code of conduct, with additional processing for formatting purposes.
Correctly submitted and accepted short papers, with a Conference registration associated as required, will be included in the HCII 2027 Conference Proceedings, published by Springer in the Computer and Information Science (CCIS) series.
Present your poster
A poster is more than a visual summary of your work. It is an opportunity to meet Conference participants, explain your ideas, receive feedback, and discuss your research directly with the HCI community.
Your poster should communicate the central idea quickly and clearly, using an effective combination of:
a clear title • concise text • meaningful visuals • key findings • a visible take-away message
Presenting on-site
If you choose to present your poster on site, you will prepare:
- a large-format printed poster for display in the Conference Posters Area; and
- the same poster in digital format for inclusion in the Conference event platform that will be used for the operation of the Conference;
Optionally, you can also prepare and upload to the Conference event platform
- an additional digital large poster that can accommodate more information;
- a self-explanatory video to be uploaded in the Conference event platform.
Printed posters will be displayed in the Posters Area, located where Conference refreshment breaks take place, giving presenters the opportunity to discuss their work directly with participants.
Your digital poster will also be accessible through the electronic platform, making your work available to both on-site and online participants.
On-site poster presenters will additionally have the option to give a 2-minute Poster Pitch to introduce their work to a broader Conference audience.
Presenting online
If you choose to present your poster online, you will prepare your poster in digital format only. You do not need to prepare a printed poster.
Your digital poster will be displayed on the electronic platform that will be used for the operation of the Conference, where it can be viewed by participants throughout the Conference.
Optionally, you can also prepare and upload to the Conference event platform
- an additional digital large poster that can accommodate more information;
- a self-explanatory video to be uploaded in the Conference event platform.
Detailed specifications for poster dimensions, digital files, and presentation arrangements will be provided closer to the event.
Poster Pitch
On-site poster presenters will additionally have the option to give a 2-minute Poster Pitch.
What is a poster pitch?
A poster pitch is a brief, focused oral presentation lasting 2 minutes, where each poster presenter will have the opportunity to highlight the core idea, motivation, and contribution of their work to a broader audience. The poster pitch sessions will take place during refreshment and lunch breaks, between 28-30 July, to ensure visibility and maximize engagement by Conference attendees.
There will be no Q&A following the pitches. Attendees are encouraged to engage directly with presenters at the poster boards area for further discussion.
Who can deliver a poster pitch?
Participation in the pitch session is voluntary. Only registered poster presenters who will present their posters 'on-site' at the Conference can deliver a poster pitch.
What are the next steps?
As soon as the Final Conference Program becomes available, further details and instructions will be provided, along with the submission procedure to on-site poster presenters.
Registration Regulation
Each accepted poster requires one Conference registration for presentation at the Conference and inclusion in the Proceedings.
To provide opportunities for a greater number of participants to present their work, a single author cannot register multiple accepted submissions. Co-authors may appear on more than one papers or posters, but where several papers or posters share co-authors, a different co-author must register for each accepted submission.
For posters, the author registration deadline is 5 March 2027.
