For example, if you are an experienced researcher, consider submitting a proposal to share your knowledge in an informal setting with conference participants. Proposals devoted to a particular discipline's methods and cross disciplinary proposals are both welcome. For example, some recent meetup meetings included opportunities to meet and discuss topics related to blogging about visualization, the BioVis contest, and the connection between art and science.</div><div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: small;"> </div><div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: small;">VIS 2014 is eager to expand its meetup sessions and will consider proposals for each day and evening of the conference, given room availability. VIS2014 meetups are public and open to all attendees. Meetup organizers need to be registered at the conference for at least the day of the meetup. Proposal format: A meetup proposal should include a title, a brief description of the topic to be addressed, and a list of prospective attendees. The proposal should be no longer than two pages in length. Meetup proposals should be sent to the Meetup Chairs at meetups@ieeevis.org.</div><div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: small;"> </div><div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial; font-size: small;">Impromptu meetups: We also encourage impromptu meetups to be organized during the conference itself.
