# How to Use the Chi Conference Proceedings Template | A Step-by-Step Guide

Authored by [Sumalatha Gangadhar](https://scispace.com/resources/author/sumalatha/) | Published on 12 May, 2026

The Chi Conference Proceedings Template is the LaTeX class plus Word shell used to prepare camera-ready papers for ACM CHI. The canonical layout and submission rules — page limits, reference style, reproducibility requirements — live in the [ACM Master Article Templates (acmart)](https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template).

## What is the Chi Conference Proceedings Template?

ACM CHI uses the `acmart` LaTeX class with a two-column (sigconf) or single-column (acmsmall) per the conference proceedings setting. The class handles the title block, abstract, keywords, body sections, figure and table captions, and the conference-specific reference style. The CTAN documentation for the class is on the [acmart package on CTAN](https://ctan.org/pkg/acmart).

### A standard chi conference proceedings template usually includes:

- Title and author block per `acmart` (with affiliation and ORCID)
- Abstract (150–250 words) and keywords (3–6 terms)
- Body in `acmart` layout with numbered or unnumbered headings
- Figure captions (Fig. 1, …) and table captions per the class
- References in the conference's preferred style (ACM Reference Format / Springer Basic)
- Acknowledgments, funding, and ethics statements where applicable
- Camera-ready PDF that passes the conference's validation tool

### A strong ACM CHI proceedings paper prepared with this template should:

- Use only the conference-provided `acmart` class, not a generic article class
- Match the page limit for the article type (full paper vs short paper)
- Reproducibility / artifact-evaluation requirements where the conference asks for them
- Add ORCID iDs and proper affiliations to the author block
- Submit through the conference's portal — see {a2}

## What does this Chi Conference Proceedings Template include?

The `acmart` LaTeX class with matching BibTeX style is on the [acmart package on CTAN](https://ctan.org/pkg/acmart). The conference-specific authors page (links, page limits, anonymisation rules, copyright) is the [ACM Author Submission Workflow](https://authors.acm.org/). After acceptance, camera-ready papers are uploaded through the conference's submission portal and end up in the [ACM Digital Library](https://dl.acm.org/).

## Steps to Use the Chi Conference Proceedings Template with Scispace Agent

1. Click **Start Writing** on this template page. You are redirected to the Scispace Agent prompt page with this Chi Conference Proceedings Template and a starter prompt already loaded.
2. On the prompt page, choose whether to **use the existing template** shown in the side panel or **upload a new template** if you already have a venue- or program-specific copy.
3. **Modify the prompt** with your custom message: the topic, target audience, document type (full paper / short paper / poster), scope, and any specific constraints (page limit, anonymisation rules, reproducibility).
4. Run the prompt. Scispace Agent generates the draft directly in the Chi Conference Proceedings Template structure — title, author block, abstract, keywords, body sections, figure/table placeholders, references in the conference's style, and acknowledgments — without hand-editing layout code.
5. Use **View Outputs** to review the draft. Regenerate specific sections if the first pass needs tightening on depth, evidence, or wording.
6. When the draft is ready, **save it to your library** inside Scispace Agent or **download it in Word or LaTeX format** so it drops straight into your submission workflow.

This keeps `acmart` camera-ready compliance and ACM CHI's editorial rules on the Scispace Agent side while you focus on the technical contribution.

## Chi Conference Proceedings Template Structure at a Glance

| Element | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Title / Authors | `acmart` title and author block with ORCID |
| Abstract + Keywords | 150–250 words + 3–6 terms |
| Body | two-column (sigconf) or single-column (acmsmall) per the conference proceedings setting |
| References | Conference-specified reference style |
| Figures / Tables | Captioned, in-text numbered |
| Reproducibility | Artifact evaluation / data availability (where required) |
| Copyright | Conference-specific copyright statement |
| Submission | ACM CHI submission portal |

## Quick Tips for Using the Chi Conference Proceedings Template

- Use the current `acmart` class — do not reuse an older copy
- Stay within the page limit; over-length papers are returned without review
- Add ORCID iDs and proper affiliations in the author block
- Follow anonymisation rules carefully for double-blind venues
- Validate the final PDF against the conference's compatibility checker

## Best Practices

- Submit reproducibility artifacts where the conference offers a badge / track
- Cite figures and tables in order; match the `acmart` numbering conventions
- Match the BibTeX style to the conference's reference format
- Add a complete acknowledgments and funding statement before References
- Validate the camera-ready PDF before upload to the conference portal

## Chi Conference Proceedings Template Tips

The Chi Conference Proceedings Template is a rules-first workflow. `acmart` fixes the layout, the conference authors page fixes the editorial rules, and the submission portal fixes the file route. Lock the abstract and authors before scaling the body.

Use this Chi Conference Proceedings Template guide to format the `acmart` LaTeX or Word manuscript, match ACM CHI's page-limit and reference rules, and submit a camera-ready file through the conference portal.
