Voice your views and questions anonymously on our webpage, and attend our IEEE VIS Panel and Follow-up Meetup on Oct 23 in Berlin! ’Succeeding by Failing: The Iceberg in VIS Careers' http://www.luanamicallef.com/succeedingbyfailing <http://www.luanamicallef.com/succeedingbyfailing> #visupdown ==================== Community Event Announcements ==================== This year we have the following (new and returning) community-building activities that we'd like to invite you to participate in: Flyer posting for positions: If you have positions available, and cannot attend VIS, send your flyers to community@ieeevis.org as a PDF (at least a week prior to VIS). Asynchronous Job Fair (AJF): A way to help connect job seekers and employers over the course of VIS. If you are job hunting upload your CV in the registration form at least a week prior to VIS and grab an “I’m job hunting!” ribbon at the conference registration. If you are hiring grab an “I’m hiring!" ribbon at the conference and add your fliers on the corkboard. => This year we are also organizing a Job Fair meetup, to bring together job seekers and employers in one venue to trade CV and employment information. VisBuddies: Like last year, we will match together new and returning VIS attendees with similar interests. Register using the registration form (at least a week prior to VIS). => We'll be holding again a Newcomers meetup to help new attendees navigate VIS. Good Food Meets Good Science: Tired of bad food? Didn’t have something local when attending the conference and regretted it? Want the good scientific discussions to continue around a local specialty of the area? This meetup is designed to take participants to a restaurant serving good food that is a local specialty of the area. We aim for an accessible price so that anyone can attend. People can sign up (see below) on a first come first served basis. The audience should bring an interesting scientific topic to discuss at dinner. An appetite for local cuisine is also highly recommended. Registration required: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScJjiJBrOMIL_Wyy9BiMc5_0wmS4Mj2Zl7a... Data Stories Meetup: Are you a fan of the Data Stories Podcast or are you interested in learning more about it? With information+ and IEEE VIS in town, we did not want to miss this opportunity to meet up with our listeners! It will be a casual event with lots of opportunities to chat and discuss about the podcast, data analytics, information visualization, design, … Registration required: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/data-stories-listener-meetup-registration-50557...
