Last week at #PacificVis in Taipei I presented a project from my time at #Tableau: RemixTape, a presentation authoring tool for narratives about metrics / KPIs.

We're still collecting responses to our survey on the future of VGTC conferences. We've already heard from many IEEE VIS attendees and those in North America, Europe, and Asia.

We're still looking for perspectives from those who attend other VGTC-sponsored events, as well as from around the world.

The Visualization and Graphics Technical Community (VGTC) and Visualization Executive Committee (VEC) are conducting a survey on hybrid conference experiences.

Participate if you've attended / plan to attend VGTC-affiliated conferences (VIS, VR, ISMAR,…), takes ~10 min.: forms.gle/aVAW8XemdWAt...
