For one week starting October 25, VIS will host the largest annual gathering of academics, practitioners, and researchers focused on making every variety of dataset visually understandable.</span></span><o:p></o:p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">After its successful meeting in Paris last year, the international VIS conference is returning to the United States, where organizers hope to attract a record number of young practitioners seeking opportunities to meet and mingle with the senior members and leaders in their field. This year’s program includes several returning events aimed at encouraging such interactions, such as the Doctoral Colloquium and Digital Compass activities, along with a new industry-targeted Practitioner Event. </span></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">“This conference is the best opportunity all year for the data visualization community to see and share the latest advancements, tools, and techniques,” said Michael E. Papka, VIS 2015 co-chair. “From the academic to the applied, VIS has something to offer everybody working in the field today.”</span></span><o:p></o:p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">VIS 2015 papers talks and panels are organized into three tracks: <b>Visual Analytics Science and Technology (VAST), Information Visualization (InfoVis)</b>, and<b> Scientific Visualization (SciVis). </b>These main track offerings and a three-day exhibition begin on Tuesday October 27. Three co-located symposiums are held on the first two days of VIS 2015: <b>Visualization in Data Science (VDS)</b>, <b>Large Data Analysis and Visualization (LDAV)</b>, and <b>Visualization for Cyber Security (VizSec)</b>. The VIS offerings on Sunday October 25 and Monday October 26 also include eight workshops and nine tutorials. </span></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The VIS 2015 Arts Program features a papers track and a two-week public art exhibition at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s (SAIC’s) LeRoy Neiman Center, which is located across the street from the conference venue, the Palmer House Hilton, in Chicago’s downtown Loop district.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">IEEE VIS is sponsored by IEEE’s Computer Society.
