CHI PLAY 2014 - The annual symposium on Computer-Human Interaction in Play

CHI PLAY (The Annual Symposium on Computer-Human Interaction in Play) is a new international and interdisciplinary conference (by ACM SIGCHI) for researchers and professionals across all areas of play, games and human-computer interaction (HCI), we call it: "player-computer interaction".
The goal of the conference is to highlight and foster discussion of current high quality research in games and HCI as foundations for the future of digital play. To this end, the conference will feature streams that blend academic research and games with demos, results and procedures.
CHI PLAY grew out of the increasing work around games and play emerging from the ACM annual conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) over the last several years. It has become apparent that there is a need for a dedicated conference incorporating individual conferences such as Fun and Games, Future Play and Gamification, which is now sponsored for the first time by ACM SIGCHI.
CHI PLAY 2014 will be held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada from October 5-8, 2014.
