Well put!

Sketches of Spain will never be outdated, onion folks fight me :)

@cfiesler.bsky.social academic match maker :)

So challenging, I struggle w/ this too. I wrote about it here (apropos AMA I was invited for) lab.plopes.org/essays/AMA.h... no real solutions there but carving time for small tasks and big tasks is how I usually (try) to solve this. not a perfect solution and not always compatible w/ running a lab

We'd need a breakdown of number of new authors vs. more papers from same authors. But my sense is that at UIST I met a lot of new people (especially big growth in Asia) that were attending for first time (with a paper), so I'd say that's actual growth. (Also UIST got A listed in China recently)

Is that number reasonable? Well, it's the size of our field, so it's always reasonable per definition. Maybe your question is if a single HCI conference should get those or spread over multiple? P.s.:Our field isn't particularly huge compared to other sciences or sub fields of CS, but it's healthy.

Wow. Huge win but simultaneously #uist2025 sold out, #chi2025 sold out, now assets! What will the community do? Online? Scalp tickets? ;)

Right? Why limit yourself to hearing one part of the record when you could hear them all?
