The 2024  IEEE Visualization and Visual Analytics Conference (VIS) , initially scheduled as a hybrid event from October 13 to 18 at the Hilton Tampa Downtown in Tampa, Florida, was transitioned to an entirely virtual format due to Hurricane Milton's projected trajectory and the potential for significant impacts on the Tampa area. I participated virtually, attending workshops, full paper presentations, and engaging panel discussions. IEEE VIS  is a premier forum for showcasing visualization and visual analytics theory, methodologies, and application advancements. This year, the conference had an overall acceptance rate of 22.26%. Our paper, " Towards Enhancing Low Vision Usability of Data Charts on Smartphones ," was accepted as a full paper. I had the privilege of presenting it on October 17, 2024, from 13:45 to 15:00 EST. 👀 Keep an eye out for our daily VIS 2024 round ups and other posts this week to follow the conference on social media. We can’t wait to see you virtu...

The  ACM Conference on Hypertext and Social Media  provided an opportunity for speakers and attendees to participate in an onsite-online hybrid model for the first time in history. The conference also ensured effective interaction between on-site participants and online participants. The conference was conducted for four days between June 28 – July 1, 2022. This year HT `22 was co-located with   ACM WebSci 2022 and  ACM UMAP 2022 . I mainly attended the paper presentations (technical sessions) on Thursday and Friday but missed the blue sky ideas session. I continuously monitored tweets related to the conference using #HT2022 , and  #hypertext hashtags.
