ACM SIGCHI became the sponsor of the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems. The first CHI conference was held in Boston, Massachusetts, US, in 1983. The second conference took place in San Francisco, in 1985.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://old.sigchi.org/bulletin/1996.1/conf-chairs.html | title=The CHI Conference: Interviews with Conference Chairs | first=Steven | last=Pemberton | publisher=[[SIGCHI]] | year=1996 | accessdate=29 September 2008 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100523002138/http://old.sigchi.org/bulletin/1996.1/conf-chairs.html | archive-date=23 May 2010 | url-status=dead }}</ref> Since then, CHI conferences have been held annually in spring each year.
