Join Us!

Membership is open to anyone interested in HCI or working in the field. Our KACST ACM SIGCHI Chapter is a collection of people that are associated with SIGCHI who share a common location in the Riyadh region. Chapters are groups of people, who, by banding together, can speak with a common voice within SIGCHI; can more effectively organize the activities that are of interest to them; and can obtain services that support their activities.
