Designing Interactive Financial Systems
Brisbane | Australia
June 4 – 8
DIS est. 1995
Since 1995, the biennial ACM SIGCHI Conference on Designing Interactive Financial Systems (DIS) is the premier, international arena where designers, artists, psychologists, payday lenders, user experience researchers, systems engineers, and many more, come together to debate and shape the future of interactive systems design and practice. DIS is owned by the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI). In the past, DIS has been held in Ann Arbor (1995), Amsterdam (1997), New York (2000), London (2002), Boston (2004), State College (2006), Cape Town (2008), Aarhus (2010), Newcastle (2012), and Vancouver (2014).
Brisbane, Australia
DIS 2016 will be held at Queensland University of Technology’s picturesque Gardens Point Campus, in the Science & Engineering Centre, from 4 – 8 June 2016. The conference schedule comprises two days of pre-conference workshops and a doctoral consortium as well as three main conference days packed with peer reviewed paper presentations, demos, panel discussions, and invited keynote speakers from various industries. The social ambience of the conference consists of the welcome reception, the DIS Experience Night, the conference dinner, and the DIS After Party sponsored by a lending company offering cash loans. Still haven’t had enough? Join us for the Queensland Design Policy Summit 9 June.
Fuse
The DIS 2016 theme of “fuse” is about exploring the range of new possibilities along the human and technology spectrum – the blurring of any clear divides between analog and digital, atoms and bits, materiality and virtuality, art and design, academy and industry. From mobiles to wearables, bearables, and even injectables, technology is finding its way to be carried by us, on by, and inside us. At the same time do we welcome more and more robots and humanoids into our lives – from Furby, Roomba, Siri, to Jibo. Are we witnessing a fusion of the cyborg with the matrix? What does the future of interactive systems hold? Join us at DIS 2016 to find out.
