Meeting Description: 

CUI 2019 is the 1st annual International Conference on Conversational User
Interfaces. It aims to be the premier interdisciplinary conference for
researchers and practitioners across the world to discuss the latest in
conversational interface technology. This inaugural event will take place in
Dublin, Ireland on 22nd-23rd August 2019 and will be hosted in the heart of
the city centre.

There has been an increasing interest in language based interactions with
technology. Through the commercial success of intelligent personal assistant
devices such as Alexa and Google Home, to the growth of the use of chatbots in
commercial settings, the number of natural language and conversation based
interactions is growing. Although there is growth in this area, with much
technical effort being applied and promoted in these areas (e.g. Interspeech,
SIGDIAL), there is comparatively little promotion of and exploration of
important human-computer interaction and design based issues. This event,
growing from successful workshops at both ACM CHI and ACM Mobile HCI, looks to
begin to develop an independent yet collaborative community with specific
interest in theory based and applied scientific issues in the field of speech
and text based conversational user interfaces. The event looks to bring
together the ISCA and ACM SIGCHI communities to publish and promote insight
and debate in this interesting and important discipline within language
interfaces. 

Authors are encouraged to submit to our three tracks: Showcase, Full Papers
and Provocation Papers. See https://www.cui2019.com for more information.
