OCCHI is the local chapter of the ACM special interest group in Human-Computer Interaction (SIGCHI). As a local chapter, it inherits the non-profit status of its parent. The purpose of OCCHI is to build a local network of HCI professionals, faculty, and students in Orange County, California. Our primary aims are:

• To provide a forum where HCI professionals in the local area can come together to meet and exchange ideas,
• To gain a better understanding of the type and range of HCI work being conducted in the local area,
• To gather and provide information about HCI resources and experts available locally, and
• To learn from the experiences that are reported by external guest speakers. Our meetings are open to both members and nonmembers at no charge.
