XXIII Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computing Systems
October 7th to 11th, 2024
The Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computing Systems (IHC) is an itinerant event, and each year it takes place in a city in Brazil in order to expand the possibilities of participation and promote the IHC community in different places of the country. The twenty-third edition of the IHC will be taking place for the first time in the country’s capital, Brasília, in the Federal District. The event will take place between October 7th to 11th, 2024 to the sound of cicadas under the sky of Brasília.

IHC in convergence in central region of Brazil
IHC 2024 in the Federal District (DF) is unprecedented in its 25 years of existence. Although the Central-West region had already hosted the event in previous years, the IHC had yet to arrive at this location in the heart of Brazil. It is in the DF that representatives of several countries gather in embassy buildings, along with leaders in the facilities of the three powers that govern Brazilian politics.
Public and private institutions of technical and higher education are also located here, in addition to technology hubs hosted in the Brasília Technological Park – BioTIC. The DF is an important scientific and science management hub, here we have the headquarters of several important bodies for knowledge and research, such as CAPES and CNPq.
In this context, amidst people arriving and leaving, from different states in Brazil, with their accents and different realities, cultural, political, and intellectual convergence emerges that contributes to discussing topics related to Human-Computer Interaction, which will be presented during the 2024 edition. We are a multifaceted scenario with the opportunity to develop technological solutions that are aligned with the unique characteristics of the region.
BRASÍLIA and the beauties of the Federal Capital
Brasília, the little square of Brazil! Located in the heart of the country, the city’s main characteristic is its peculiar architecture designed by Oscar Niemeyer and Lúcio Costa. With its famous Esplanade, beautiful Cathedral and jaw-dropping palaces, Brasília is a paradise for lovers of artistic beauty and architecture. We are proud of our museums, mosaics, stained glass, urban planning and lots of green space landscaping.
Brasília cuisine is one of the most diverse in the country, as the population of the Federal District brings together people from all regions of Brazil. Therefore, the capital pleases all tastes and palates, with dishes such as stew, chicken, feijoada, pastel, hot dog, cheese bread, polenta, roasted chicken, baião de dois and several other wonders of Brazilian cuisine present in everyday life of Brazilians. Regarding the climate, Brasília always surprises its residents with its well-known “bipolar climate” in which you can go from extreme heat at 10 am to a storm at 12 pm, all with the famous dryness typical of the Cerrado region
One of the most striking features of Brazil’s little square is the large presence of trees and flowers throughout the city. The capital received the title of “park city”, as around 5.5 million trees are found throughout the Federal District. The most characteristic tree in the region, without a doubt, is the Ipê, there are around 40 thousand planted in the DF. With its exuberant beauty, its flowers can be found in shades of yellow, pink, white and green.
The Sarah Kubitschek City Park is the largest urban park in the world, occupying an area of 4,200,000 square meters. It is an open leisure area with several attractions such as restaurants, an amusement park, gyms, artificial lakes, picnic spots and much more.
Brasília is a wonderful city for anyone who wants to have a new experience in the tourist world and appreciate the beauty of all Brazilian cultures in one place, but with the touch that only Brasilia natives know how to give!
The brand of IHC 2024
The visual identity of IHC Brasília represents the city’s invitation to the interactions, connections and convergences of the Human-Computer Interaction (IHC) community. It symbolizes the Juscelino Kubitschek Bridge, also known as JK Bridge, crossing Lake Paranoá. It is an architectural work that has been internationally awarded as one of the pioneering tension bridges and stands out in the city’s landscape.
With minimalist lines, the bridge, with its three asymmetrical arches, is designed within a diamond crossed by two arched lines entering the brand, symbolizing the multi-cultural crossing provided by the event and the welcome of the federal capital.
The sky is the sea of Brasília
The phrase above is credited to Lúcio Marçal de Lima Costa, the architect and urban planner known worldwide for the Brasilia Pilot Plan project. The phrase inspires the color palette of the IHC 2024 brand. Its symbol is colored a strong blue above the bridge, which represents the city’s clear sky. Just below the JK bridge, we have abstract wavy shapes in shades of light blue and sea green, which symbolize the waters that pass through the lake below the bridge every day. These shapes were also inspired by the contours that enchant the stained glass windows covering the Brasília Cathedral.
Get to know IHC
The Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computing Systems (IHC), promoted by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) through the Special Commission on Human-Computer Interaction (CEIHC), is the principal scientific event in the field of Human-Computer Interaction in Brazil. IHC has been successful in its mission to disseminate research results, attracting researchers, professors, students, and industry professionals interested in scientific research and practices related to the design, construction, and evaluation of computational solutions for use by the people. The integration of different profiles, resulting from the interdisciplinarity inherent to Human-Computer Interaction, results in a vibrant environment for exchanging ideas about works in progress and the emergence of partnerships, projects, orientations, and professional and academic networking.
About SBC
The Brazilian Computer Society – SBC is a non-profit Scientific Society, founded in July 1978, which brings together students, professors, professionals, researchers and enthusiasts in the area of Computing and Informatics from all over Brazil.
SBC’s role is to foster access to information and culture through computing, promote digital inclusion, encourage research and teaching in computing in Brazil, contributing to the training of computing professionals with social responsibility.
For the organization and dissemination of scientific, technical, educational and political activities, actions and events, SBC maintains a structure of three types of Thematic Groups (GT), which are the Great Areas (GA), the Special Commissions (EC) and Interest Groups (IG). These groups bring together associates with common interests in a subfield of computing.
The SBC’s Special Commissions (EC) represents a group of SBC members who share interests and values in a certain area of Computing. Current members can subscribe to the Special Commissions (EC) email lists in the area they wish to follow.
