The 50th anniversary of Graphics Interface 2024 will be held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, in Summer 2024. If you have never been to Halifax (https://discoverhalifaxns.com/), this is the perfect opportunity to visit!
We will have a rich program that consists of keynote talks, award talks, paper and poster presentations, workshops and tutorials. To commemorate GI’s 50th anniversary, we will also hold special retrospective and forward-looking panels on graphics, visualization, and HCI research in Canada. There will be multiple social and networking activities, including onsite lunches, a gala dinner and an excursion. More information about the speakers and sessions is coming soon!
Conference Format
GI 2024 will continue to support online participation in a hybrid mode, although the conference will emphasize in-person participation. More specifically, paper sessions, keynote and invited talks will be streamed to remote participants, while activities such as workshops and tutorials will only be available for in-person attendees. We encourage physical attendance to fully take advantage of a live audience, the extensive opportunities to connect with other researchers in a great environment, and to build our graphics, visualization, and HCI research communities. We require at least one author of each accepted paper to attend and present in person. Paper presenters who cannot be here due to medical or visa issues will need to submit a pre-recorded presentation before the conference, and the video will be played at the time of presentation. Remote paper presenters will also be able to answer questions after their pre-recorded talk via Zoom.
We invite submissions covering all aspects of HCI, graphics, and visualization. Research at the intersections of these areas, as well as intersections with computer vision, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, are encouraged. All paper submissions are rigorously peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers.
Submission Instructions
Following the lead of other conferences in Graphics/HCI, we use a multiple-deadline model for GI. Please note the following important dates and times:
First submission/review cycle:
- Paper Deadline:
- Friday, December 15, 2023, 11:59 pm AoE
- Author Notification:
- Monday, January 22, 2024
- Camera-ready Due:
- Tuesday, February 27, 2024
Second submission/review cycle:
- Paper Deadline:
- Friday, April 12, 2024, 11:59 pm AoE
- Author Notification:
- Friday, May 10, 2024
- Camera-ready Due:
- Monday, May 22, 2024
We welcome new submissions and re-submissions for rejected papers from the first round (with reviewers’ major concerns addressed and feedback incorporated).
Follow the paper formatting instructions (https://graphicsinterface.org/conference/2024/submissions/formatting-instructions/), and submit your work on OpenReview at https://openreview.net/group?id=graphicsinterface.org/Graphics_Interface/2024/Conference_SD (Please, verify that the name of the conference is “Graphics Interface 2024 Second Deadline”)
Review Process
GI 2024 uses OpenReview. This system, which has been used for GI since 2020, allows for increased transparency and accountability during peer review.
- GI 2024 submissions will continue to be double-blind: authors will not know reviewers’ identities, and reviewers will not know authors’ identities.
- Immediately upon submission, each paper will become available publicly and anonymously and time-stamped accordingly. This eliminates the need to post submissions simultaneously on ArXiv, and consequently, authors are prohibited from deanonymizing their papers by posting them on ArXiv or elsewhere.
- After the review period, all reviewers’ scores and comments for each submission will be revealed publicly and anonymously. The author identities of each accepted submission will be revealed, whereas authors of rejected papers may withdraw their submission if they do not wish to keep a de-anonymized and time-stamped public record of their submission.
Conference Background
Graphics Interface (GI) is the Canadian annual conference devoted to computer graphics, interactive systems, and human-computer interaction. GI attracts high-quality submissions from across Canada and internationally. It is the world’s oldest continuously-held computer graphics and HCI conference; the first conference was held in 1969.

All accepted GI papers will be archived in the ACM Digital Library under the International Conference Proceedings Series. The Michael A. J. Sweeney Award will be awarded to the best student papers in computer graphics and HCI at the conference.
