About the conference

Conference venue

Participants

Up to 800 people from science, research and practice meet at the ‘Mensch und Computer’ conference to discuss the latest research findings, exchange experiences and familiarise themselves with new products and methods. Among them are usability professionals, decision-makers from industry and universities as well as a large number of students, doctoral candidates and graduates. The conference offers insights into developments in the fields of usability engineering, user experience, design thinking, human-computer interaction, interactive media design, entertainment computing, computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) and social computing.

Since the ‘Mensch und Computer’ conference series was founded in 2000, a steadily growing number of locally and globally operating technology-orientated companies have taken the opportunity to address an open-minded group of people specifically within the framework of the conference and to present their own products and services to them in a sustainable manner. Since 2018, the conference has had ACM In-Cooperation status and all scientific publications are published in the ACM Digital Library – this has recently given ‘Mensch und Computer’ a significant increase in visibility!

Programme schedule

The four days of the event will feature keynote speeches by leading scientists, tutorials on central topics of human-computer interaction, workshops and paper sessions, a doctoral colloquium as well as poster and demo sessions.

Exhibition

The conference will be accompanied by a trade exhibition, which is centrally integrated into the event rooms and located in the immediate vicinity of the catering stations. At the trade exhibition, interested companies will present their products and services to a broad professional audience. They present themselves as attractive employers and establish contacts with potential employees. Social events are planned on both evenings of the main conference days (Monday, 1 September 2025 and Tuesday, 2 September 2025).
