A single registration will permit attendees to attend any talk in the three conferences, which will be scheduled in parallel tracks. The conference will also include a banquet, and a posters and demos session. Graphics Interface is expanding its format. In 2003 there will be more Interface and just as much Graphics. It will have joint sessions to accommodate the expansion and there will be separate but coordinated sub-committees for the HCI and Graphics tracks. GI 2003 will be the 29th Graphics Interface conference and it is the oldest continuously scheduled conference in the field. This event consistently attracts high-quality papers on recent advances in computer graphics, interactive systems, and human computer interaction topics from around the world. June is a fantastic time to visit Halifax. Founded in 1749, Halifax is known for its beauty, maritime charm and friendliness, and quality of life. This city by the sea offers many of the amenities of a large city -- diverse cultural activities, a vibrant downtown, museums, theatre, and festivals, while still maintaining its small-town charm. Come and enjoy a walk through Historic Properties, a boat cruise on Halifax Harbour or a traditional lobster dinner. Summary of Deadlines: Paper and Panel Submission: December 1, 2002 (extended!!)
