Call for Workshops

In line with the conference’s spirit of connecting and reconnecting we invite proposals for half-day workshops at AlpCHI 2026 on a rolling deadline. Submissions are accepted until we have accepted three workshops (latest submission by 6th December 2025).

To propose a workshop, you should write a proposal about the topic and your plans for the workshop. If accepted, you will be expected to lead the organization of the workshop. At least one workshop organizer is expected to attend the conference. Workshops must be planned to be entirely in-person (not as hybrid online experiences) as half-day events, most likely happening in the afternoons (Monday until Wednesday). All workshops will be open to all participants.

Submissions of proposals for workshops must be in English and require two parts:
1. workshop proposal itself and
