INFORMATION+ 2018<\/strong> Following the success of the inaugural Information+ 2016 in Vancouver, the biennial conference brings together researchers and practitioners in information design and information visualization to discuss common questions and challenges in these rapidly changing fields. Unlike discipline-specific gatherings, Information+ seeks to foster productive exchanges amongst the variety of people involved in the theories, practices and pedagogies of analyzing and communicating information.<\/p>\n Information+ 2018 will include three events<\/strong>: a one-day hands-on workshop [19 Oct], a two-day conference [20\u201321 Oct], and an exhibition of historic information design [19 Oct \u2013 14 Dec]. The events will take place at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam (FH Potsdam)<\/strong>, which was the first university to offer a study programme in interface design in Germany. It has since gained international reputation for their design-oriented visualization research.<\/p>\n Information+ 2018 is co-located with IEEE VIS, 21\u201326 October in Berlin<\/strong>. The conferences are separate events, requiring separate registration. By co-locating events, we encourage cross-disciplinary discourse, especially with regards to exchanges between the science and design \u2018camps\u2019 of the visualization community.<\/p>\n Keynote presentations will be held by Sandra Rendgen (independent art historian and researcher), Ron Morrison (University of Southern California), Fernanda Vi\u00e9gas & Martin Wattenberg (Google PAIR), and Chiqui Esteban (The Washington Post).<\/p>\n For further information and updates, please visit:\u00a0http:\/\/informationplusconference.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n CALL FOR PARTICIPATION<\/strong> We encourage both academic and practice-based presentations for the following opportunities: Submit proposals using Easy Chair:<\/strong>\u00a0https:\/\/easychair.org\/conferences\/?conf=info2018<\/a> DIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIP<\/strong> For more information and to apply use the form:<\/strong>\u00a0https:\/\/goo.gl\/forms\/cDtPpVAMQlNN2GhH2<\/a>
