Loughborough CA Day started out wa::y back in 2007 as a local, friendly get-together of like-minded interaction analysts. It's now a global, friendly get-together of like-minded interaction analysts. People fly or dial in from all over the world. Still great fun. #EMCA

Dear, Apple Intelligence! Interaction does not deliver information, it delivers action. (slightly rephrased Levinson 2010). Merely summing up the "information" is not helpful. AI needs to understand social behavior. #emca FTW! From CNET, seen on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0V5...
