PPIG 2026
About this Event
The 37th Annual Workshop of the Psychology of Programming Interest Group (PPIG) will take place on 27-29 July 2026. This will be a hybrid virtual/physical meeting hosted by UCL Interaction Centre in London, UK.
As in previous years, we will aim to make it worthwhile to join us in London, but you will also have the alternative of presenting and interacting fully with all presentations remotely from your home or office, as well as taking part in integrated hybrid activities.
Theme for the 2025 meeting: Intersections
the banking district of the City of London, ancient Roman hair pins are excavated under the shadow of the Millenium Bridge, while universities dot London’s tourist attractions of museums, architecture, and shopping streets.
The UCL Interaction Centre too, is characterised by contrast. Technical advances happen alongside behavioural and psychological research. Researchers focus on humane technology design, next to the software development capital of the UK.
Following last year’s theme of ‘Intersections’, we look this year towards places where differing perspectives and disciplines live side by side, with all the negotiation, evolution and serendipity that comes along.
Agenda
The agenda above is preliminary, more details will be provided on the workshop webpage at ppig.org.
