HCI 2007 is the premier conference in the BCS British HCI calendar. It is an event designed to bring together practitioners and academics in order to further improve the relationship between people and technology. It is attended by people from all corners of the globe who engage in lively, enthusiastic and above all, positive discussions surrounding some of the most pressing issues in HCI today.
Technology today plays an ever increasing role in many people's lives. In response to this, the aim of the conference is to look at the very nature of HCI; how it has changed in order to deal with this increasing utilisation, hence the title 'HCI... but not as we know it'. As technology moves away from the traditional computer and single user set-up to devices which are either embedded, on the move or purely for fun, a new set of challenges have arisen for the HCI community.

All this plus the opportunity to meet and socialise with other like minded people means that HCI 2007 is a conference that you will want to participate in with the next generation of practitioners and researchers.
HCI 2007 is being held at Lancaster University which is home to Infolab 21, an award winning centre of excellence. This world class centre has an unusual and somewhat striking appearance and includes the latest developments in information and communications technologies.
