HCIR 2013

The 7th Annual Symposium on Human-Computer Interaction and Information Retrieval (HCIR 2013) will be held on Thursday and Friday, October 3 and 4th, 2013, at Simon Fraser University’s Segal School of Business in downtown Vancouver, BC, Canada. The symposium is being supported by the University of British Columbia iSchool.

The symposium is being held at the Segal Building at 500 Granville St. in room 1200. The entrance is on Granville St. close to the intersection with West Pender, and the meeting room is just on the left as you come in the door. Breakfast will be available on site from 8-9 am on Thursday; the first session begins at 9 am.

If you need parking, there are several parking lots close by that charge between $12-$15 for the day: try IMPARK on Seymour between W. Pender and Dunsmuir or IMPARK at 450 West Cordova.

HCIR 2013 is a two-day event consisting of a single-track of user-centered IR research presentations, a poster session, and ample opportunity for informal discussions and social interaction.
