Dear Esteemed Participants,

Welcome to IHCI 2024, the annual International Conference on Intelligent Human-Computer Interaction! 

With great pleasure, we invite you to join us in this exceptional gathering of researchers, educators, and young professionals from around the world.

Since its establishment in 2008, the Intelligent Human-Computer Interaction (IHCI) society has been dedicated to advancing human-centered technology, cognitive computing, and humanities studies. Our mission is to foster innovation and collaboration through research and experimental development initiatives. And this year, our conference is powered by the theme of "Meaningful HCI," exploring the exciting intersection of artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction.

IHCI 2024 serves as a vibrant platform for the presentation of cutting-edge research results and technological advancements. Engineers and scientists from various disciplines, including artificial intelligence, signal processing, computer vision, and human-computer interaction, will converge to share their insights, collaborate, and push the boundaries of knowledge. This unique blend of expertise creates an environment where theoretical, practical, and applicational aspects of the field can be explored, leading to groundbreaking discoveries and innovations.

As the foremost worldwide gathering in the field, IHCI has attracted top researchers, graduate students, research think tanks, and industry technology developers. Together, we aim to tackle the emerging research challenges arising from the intricate interaction between machine intelligence and human intelligence. We believe that by participating in IHCI, you will be able to actualize your goals in HCI, leading to greater success in business and contributing to the betterment of society as a whole.

The field of Human-Computer Interaction has experienced significant progress in recent years, resulting in diverging trends. While some conferences focus on specific topics like Interaction Design and User-Centered Design, others embrace new areas such as Computing with Words, Prosocial Agents Development, and Attention-based Applications. IHCI stands apart by addressing the intelligence and human-computer interaction issues at the intersection of these trends. This holistic approach allows us to explore the forefront of research and bridge the gap between academia and industry.

By becoming a member of the IHCI society, you will gain access to the latest conferences and events conducted by our community. We aspire to be a leading community of researchers, educators, and young professionals, setting new benchmarks in research and advancing the understanding of Intelligent Human Computer Interaction and Cognitive Computing.

We look forward to your participation in IHCI 2024 and the valuable contributions you will bring to our vibrant community. Together, let's shape the future of AI-powered IHCI and create technology that enhances the human experience.

Warmest regards,

Dr. Ir. J.W.J.R. Van T Klooster (Jan-Willem), General Chair, IHCI 2024
