Preparing for CHI

May 2-6

This week was all about preparation for CHI. I spent quite a bit of time working on and practicing my short schpeil for when people come up to our poster and ask what our work is about. There was a lot of face-to-mirror time here.

            There was even a CHI@Drexel event as a get-together for all of the professors and students from Drexel who will be attending CHI. It was a great chance to meet people before going to the conference and a great way to practice my little speech and get some feedback on it and the poster.

            I spent the rest of my time this week packing and searching through the CHI website. I was figuring out which talks I wanted to attend, planning my travels, and reading a lot of papers that were going to be presented. I wanted to be as prepared as possible!
