Graphics Interface has a long legacy of attracting high-quality work on human-computer interaction, interactive systems, computer graphics, animation, and visualization. The conference brings together researchers from across the globe to discuss their recent advances in these fields.
We are accepting proposals for attendees to host activities, including but not limited to: Courses, Workshops, Panels, Fireside Chats, and gathering of special interest groups (sigs). 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.

All computing items must be brought by participants (e.g., laptop, Head-Mounted Devices, cameras, sensors, etc.). Groups can request Volunteer support setting up but not presenting.
- You are also encouraged to submit supporting files as needed, such as videos or source code. Uploaded videos should be encoded in a high quality format (e.g., MPEG-4) that works across as many platforms as possible without the installation of additional codecs. For instance, it is best if your video will play properly with standard versions of Windows Media Player, or Quicktime, or VLC player. Please note that your total submission size cannot exceed 100.0 MB, including your submission document and any additional material. If you cannot comply with this limit, please contact one of the conference chairs.
