CFP – Host an Activity at GI’23!
We are excited to announce GI’23, which will be held from May 30 – June 2 is accepting
proposals for attendees to host activities over the course of two days, May 30th and June 1st. We
are seeking proposals for engaging and interactive activities, such as panels, workshops,
tutorials, fireside chats, colloquiums, meetings and more!
Some examples of these activities could include the following:
One possible idea for a panel could be a discussion on the latest developments in
artificial intelligence and its relevance to HCI, data visualization or graphics, with experts
from academia and industry sharing their insights and experiences.
A workshop could focus on hands-on training in a specific technology or method,
allowing attendees to learn new skills and techniques.
A tutorial could provide an in-depth exploration of a particular topic, with the aim of giving
attendees a deep understanding of the subject.
A fireside chat could be a more informal conversation with a thought leader or industry
veteran, providing attendees with the opportunity to ask questions and learn from their
experiences.
A colloquium could be for specific groups of attendees (such as doctoral students or
early career faculty) to get feedback from experts and peers and to ask questions.
One possible idea for a meeting could be a gathering of academic and industry
researchers to develop a large grant application together.
We are open to creative and innovative ideas for what these activities can be and how they
could take place (e.g., single-day, multi-day, a few hours in a single day or over multiple days).
We believe that the conference will provide a valuable opportunity for attendees to learn,
network, and engage with others in the field.
If you are interested in hosting an activity at GI’23, please fill out the survey to submit your
proposals before January 30 February 20, EoD AoE:

We look forward to receiving your proposals and to seeing you at the conference!
