The International Conference on Human Aspects of IT (ITAP) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from a broad range of relevant disciplines and domains to exchange 1) research contributions on older people’s abilities and competencies, needs and requirements, and attitudes and behavioral patterns in relation to IT use; 2) innovative ideas, practices, and experiences related to the design, operation, and evaluation of IT applications, systems, and services for older people.

The first ITAP Conference was held in 2015, as an integral part of the HCI International Conference series. In 2026, the Conference will arrive its 12th edition. Over these years, ITAP has served as a discussion forum for researchers and practitioners from a variety of relevant domains. We look forward to welcoming researchers and practitioners who conduct research, develop applications and services, or would like to learn from these results to support older people’s better use of IT to join this cross-disciplinary colloquium.

The 12th ITAP Conference will be held in Montreal, Canada on the 26-31 July.
