The “Mensch und Computer” conference is the annual event of the Human-Computer Interaction Division of the German Informatics Society (Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V., GI) and the German Usability Professionals Association (German UPA). It is the largest conference on human-computer interaction in Europe and has brought together participants from academia and industry every year since 2000.
