CIC 2009

We are delighted to invite you to the 17th annual Color Imaging Conference (CIC) in Albuquerque, NM, November 9–13, 2009. Co-sponsored by IS&T and SID, CIC is the premier venue for sharing cutting-edge research in the areas of color perception, color theory, image capture, display systems, printing, and color workflow.

The conference committee is constantly seeking to bring new topics to CIC and this year we would like to initiate a discussion in the area of lighting. High intensity visible LEDs have started to penetrate general and indoor lighting applications. Light generated by LED lamps is spectrally very different from conventional lighting. A variety of different color LEDs may be incorporated within one lamp, allowing ambient color variation and even simple image projection. CIC is seeking papers in topics related to this area, such as the use of lights of different colors for creating atmosphere, the impact of lighting color on feelings, the perception of objects under such light sources, and other topics.

Join us for this single-track conference renowned for its high-quality, peer-reviewed presentations, where you will connect with color experts from around the world. Conference participants come from both industry and academia, and have varied backgrounds and research areas. The mixture of presentations and informal networking during the conference provides exposure to new ideas and ample opportunity for exchange of views.

Two days of short courses cover a myriad of topics for the beginner, the practitioner, and the veteran. Another popular feature of the conference is the interactive session where attendees directly engage the authors about their research and view their often-colorful and visual results close-up.

We're planning several stimulating keynotes and plenty of opportunities to network with colleagues and peers, including a conference reception at the nearby Albuquerque Museum of Art.

Mark your calendars and please join us in sunny Albuquerque for CIC17!
