Exhibiton and Support Opportunities

The 20th IEEE International Conference on Image Processing, ICIP, will take place at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) located on the banks of the Yarra River, only a short walk from the central business district, and a 20-minute drive from the Melbourne Airport.

The MCEC is Australia's most versatile convention and exhibition facility. Visitors looking for a truly Melbourne experience will find it encapsulated here in the centre - art, entertainment, culture, food and wine all set among an absolutely stunning, award-winning architectural design, which is the centre piece of Melbourne's new South Wharf development.

As the first '6 Star Green Star' environmentally rated convention centre in the world, the venue represents world leadership in best practice, innovation, and sustainability; and continues to raise standards to new heights in technology, imaginative catering, and service options.

The conference is organized annually by the IEEE Signal Processing Society. It is the premier forum for presentation of technological advances and research results in the fields of theoretical, experimental, and applied image and video processing. ICIP 2013, the twentieth in the series that has been held annually since 1994, will bring together leading engineers, scientists and faculty in image and video processing from around the world.

ICIP usually attracts between 1,000 and 1,500 international attendees. ICIP 2013 will give you a unique chance to meet and address representatives from a wide range of industrial and academic companies and research institutions.

Your involvement and contribution (see Support Opportunities) would be greatly appreciated and can be tailored according to your specific needs. We are sure you will seriously consider this heart-felt invitation, and we welcome your company as a supporter for the conference. If you have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact Conference Management Services, Inc., the Professional Congress Organizer for ICIP 2013.
