General Information

The organizers of the International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition FG 2024 invite proposals for Special Sessions and Panels to be held during the main conference which will be held between 27 – 31 May 2024 in Istanbul, Turkey.

Proposals may be submitted on any topic that falls into the broader area of face and gesture recognition, modeling, and analysis. We particularly encourage proposals that highlight emerging new fields, application domains and challenges related to face and gesture as well as interdisciplinary topics that bring new perspectives to the FG community. Proposers should have a strong record in the proposed field.
