[Ieee_vis] Participate in the Visualization for Communication Workshop

[Ben Watson]

*CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: *
*The Visualization for Communication Workshop (VisComm 2019
<http://viscomm.io>)*
*An IEEE Visualization <http://ieeevis.org> Workshop*
*October 20 or 21 in Vancouver, Canada*

*Theme*
While visualization research is still largely focused on data analysis,
most people experience visualization in the media, where it may describe
political topics, budgets, and sports. An independent community of
visualization practitioners has sprung up, producing and deconstructing
visualizations of broad interest. Free visualization tools are widely
available and used.

The VisComm workshop brings together practitioners and researchers from a
broad range of disciplines to address questions raised by visualization’s
new communicative role. We encourage participation from journalists,
designers and others that do not typically attend the IEEE Visualization
<http://ieeevis.org> conference.

*Participation*
We invite contributions from any discipline, but particularly encourage
those using visualization to communicate, such as journalists and
designers. Scientific contributions addressing such use are welcome as well.

VisComm seeks short research papers, short position papers, and posters. In
addition, Viscomm accepts visual case studies, which allow visualization
practitioners to present their visualizations, and discuss how they were
designed and received by their audience. Practitioners may submit case
studies as web sites or videos.
