Inaugurated in 1993, the first 14 CICs took place in Scottsdale, Arizona, and were co-sponsored by the Society for Information Display. Held annually in early November, the single-track meeting now moves to various cities around the globe.
CIC is the premier annual technical gathering for scientists, technologists, and engineers working in the areas of color science and systems, and their application to color imaging. Participants represent disciplines ranging from psychophysics, optical physics, image processing, color science to graphic arts, systems engineering, and hardware and software development. While a broad mix of professional interests is the hallmark of these conferences, the focus is color.
CICs traditionally offer two days of short courses followed by three days of technical sessions that include three keynotes, an evening lecture, 3-4 indepth workshops, and exhibition, and a vibrant interactive papers session. An endearing symbol of the meeting is the Cactus Award, given each year to the author(s) of the best interactive paper presentation.
