After twenty years, we are excited to be returning to Phoenix, Arizona. Located in the Southwest, the city is easy to reach and has wonderful attractions as part of the downtown district near the convention center and conference hotel.

The forum will be held October 1-6, 2017, and will include programs for students, academics, artists, industry and commercial practitioners, government researchers, and anyone with interests in visualization and data analytics. The conference trend has been to draw over 1,000 participants from dozens of countries to a week of research presentations, tutorials, workshops, panels, demonstrations, posters, and exhibitions.

We invite you to participate in IEEE Visual Analytics Science and Technology (VAST), IEEE Information Visualization (InfoVis), IEEE Scientific Visualization (SciVis), and art program, along with a vibrant array of symposia that share our week. Bring your imagination, your data, your problems, your solutions, your research, insights, experience, and enthusiasm.
