Alarith UhdeA quick follow-up. <a href="https://hci.social/tags/MobileHCI2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MobileHCI2025</a> is in-person only this year. With our odd conference publication model in <a href="https://hci.social/tags/HCI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HCI</a> this creates two issues for authors.First, instead of the reduced fee that was available before, online folks now have to pay the full fee (750$ instead of 200$ in 2023) including costs for coffee and lunch. In return, the option to present your work remotely was removed. I think this is not appropriate anymore. Probably too late to change now, but hopefully in the future.
