The conference is to be held in Swansea, South West Wales. The university is located on the sweeping Swansea Bay between Swansea City Centre and the old fishing village of Mumbles.

Swansea was once described by the poet Dylan Thomas as an "ugly, lovely town". The changes which have taken place since then have created a lively modern city of 200,000 inhabitants. Swansea, Mumbles and the Gower, the venue for a variety of world class water sports events, offers a classic combination of breath-taking coastal scenery and all the amenities you would expect of a city centre.

Swansea, an ideal holiday and short breaks destination at any time, will no doubt offer you the warmest welcome.

The Computer Graphics and Visualisation Group at Swansea acts as the local host to the conference.
