The Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computer Systems (IHC) is the main scientific event in the Human-Computer Interaction area in Brasil. IHC promotes the exchange of ideas and information about research and studies that aim to contribute to the interaction between users and computing systems. The event is promoted by the Brazilian Computer Society (SociedadeBrasileira de Computação – SBC), via its Special Commission on HCI (CEIHC).

In 2014, the thirteenth edition of IHC will be held in Foz do Iguaçu, PR, from October 27th to 31st.Inspired by its host city (located in the triple Brazilian frontier), IHC 2014 has as its main theme "Frontiers of Interaction". The conference aims to foster the discussion of ideas and knowledge about diversity in HCI. That means, for example, stimulating reflections on the interdisciplinarity of our area and our community, as well as the relationship with other areas which share a frontier with HCI.
This theme also has to do with the challenges to broadening horizons so as to meet users diversity, respect differences and learn from them. Therefore, we will discuss new ways to interact that break traditional patterns we have been working with. It also has to do with encouraging intercultural interaction, thus reflecting about our own knowledge and our role towards the cultural diversity entailed by HCI.
Thus, considering your experience, we would like you to think about the focus of your speech, which will be delivered at the opening of the conference.
