Abstract
The community-building efforts of many volunteers has grown the games and play community within SIGCHI into a vibrant and active group of researchers. Our dedicated conference—CHI PLAY—started in 2014 with the goals of being an inclusive, diverse, welcoming, and playful community that publishes the highest quality research papers and provides structured opportunities for networking, feedback, mentoring, and collaborative knowledge generation. In this panel, a group of CHI PLAY former, current, and future leaders reflects on the formation and care of the CHI PLAY conference over the last decade and shares their visions for the evolution of CHI PLAY over the next decade.
