CREATE 2008 is a 2-day conference about creating innovative interactions, whether digital consumer products, interactive services or interaction paradigms. A conference where the emphasis is on sharing the wealth of creative ideas we have developed to resolve problems, to create new capabilities, or new functions; where the aim is to spawn further creative designs that can make a difference to people. In keeping with this theme, we invite people to bring:
- Your experiences - designs, both successes and failures, that have pushed the boundaries of interaction
- Your approaches - principles and methods that have delivered new, people-centred ideas and products.
This year's theme is “embedding people-centred design in the process of innovation”. How do we work together as designers and HCI specialists to come up with people-centred design, and how do we work with others to make our designs a reality?
Also, CREATE2008 will feature the CREATE design show – a forum for people to exhibit and discuss their latest ideas – more details to follow soon.
CREATE is jointly organised by the Human-Computer Interaction Specialist Group of the Ergonomics Society, and British Computing Society's Interaction Specialist Group, and will be held at the British Computer Society conference venue in Covent Garden, London, on 24-25 June, 2008.
For enquiries contact Tony Rose (Ergonomics Society HCI Group chair) at hci_sig@yahoo.co.uk.

SUBMISSION FORMAT
We invite case studies of innovative design from the commercial, public, government and research sectors. Cases can come from any paradigm - the web, mobile and hand held, or consumer electronics. Please outline the problems, capabilities, or new functions that were being addressed, and describe the solutions you or your team created to resolve it.
IMPORTANT: For your full submission include photos, screen shots, or sketches, and tell us how and why it did or did not work.
We also welcome theoretical and research perspectives on the process of design innovation and approaches to creativity in HCI; how human factors can be integrated within a creative design process, methods that encourage creativity in interaction design, and the challenges of working in multi-disciplinary teams.
Initial submissions should be no more than 3000 characters (approx. 500 words). Accepted papers can be either short papers 2 pages long, or be extended to long papers of up to 6 pages.
The online submission process will be ready early January 2008.
Submission information for the design exhibition will follow soon.
