This SIG will be hosted by the SIGCHI Equity Committee and will aim to co-create
an improved Equity Volunteer Training Program, focusing on community
accountability and fostering safer confer- ence environments. Building on
previous equity initiatives, this session will facilitate opportunities for
informal yet structured dis- cussions about the evolving needs of conference
equity, especially as it pertains to fostering safer environments for all
attendees. We aim to leverage the diverse experiences of attendees to refine the
role of Equity Volunteers, inform discussions of common inter- vention scenarios,
and establish practical strategies that promote safety, inclusion, and community
accountability at conferences. The outcome will be a strengthened training
framework that empow- ers Equity Volunteers with actionable tools to enhance
conference safety and inclusivity. This SIG will foster community building, di-
alogue, and actionable outcomes to create a shared understanding of equity
challenges and possibilities for Equity Volunteers within SIGCHI.
