Following the success of Information+ 2016 in
Vancouver, Canada, the biennial conference brings together researchers and
practitioners in information design and 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.
Information+ 2018 will again include three events:
a one-day hands-on workshop [19 Oct], a two-day conference [20–21 Oct],
and an exhibition of historic information design [19 Oct – 14 Dec]. The events
will take place at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam (FH Potsdam),
Germany, which was the first university to offer a study program in interface
design in Germany. It has since gained international reputation for their
design-oriented information visualization research.
As an interdisciplinary event, we invite proposals from all
fields of professional practice, research, and education in information design
and visualization.
We welcome submissions on such topics as (but not limited
to): the environment, advocacy and law, health and medical applications, social
and political issues, cultural analysis and
collections, digital humanities, and
projects in data journalism.
Authors accepted for presentation at the
conference will have an opportunity to submit articles for publication in a
special issue of an academic journal (to be announced soon). The special issue
will contain articles selected by a peer review process.
