GoingToMeet

The week begins with a comprehensive set of short courses that spans two days (Monday and Tuesday) and features the ever-popular Hunt Course. Short course chairs Fumio Nakaya and Stephen Westland have assembled a range of informative classes taught by experts in their fields, including many new offerings and four classes now offered on Monday. Monday also sees the return of ICC DevCon’08, which offers an opportunity to learn about the use and implementation of v4 ICC profiles.

The technical program begins Wednesday morning and CIC papers continue through noon on Friday. This year’s technical program chairs—Karen Braun and Moshe Ben-Chorin—have created a cutting-edge program on topics including printing, HDR, gamuts, capture, vision, appearance, and displays. Each morning begins with a keynote and this year we are fortunate to have Andrew Stockman presenting on the new CIE cone fundamental based standard, Mary Czerwinski providing an overview of large display research, and Robert W. G. Hunt presenting an intriguingly titled talk: “The Push-Me Pull-You of Color.”
