Call for Papers

The 51st Graphics Interface 2025 will be held in Kelowna, BC, Canada, in Summer 2025. If you have never been to Kelowna, 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. There will be multiple social and networking activities, including a reception and a gala dinner. More information about the speakers and sessions is coming soon!

Conference Format

GI 2025 will continue to support online participation in a hybrid mode, although the conference will emphasize in-person participation. More specifically, paper sessions, keynotes 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 take full 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 the 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.

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:

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.

The Michael A. J. Sweeney Award will be awarded to the best student papers in computer graphics and HCI at the conference.
