South By Southwest is an annual conference spanning film, interactive and music held in Austin, Texas. For over a week, thousands of people roam Austin learning, educating, listening and experiencing the conference. We’ve attended the conference since 2007 and Naz Hamid collected his experiences for each year and compiled them into a informational infographic (2007) and a timeline infographic (2008). 2009 was sketched in a Muji Chonotebook and for 2010, there may be something else. Maybe.

This symposium aims to bring together researchers and practitioners of design, art and related disciplines. The goal is to share their stories and experiences on how the needs and goals of both users and businesses are met through information visualisation.

It supports the publication of research in two general domains: Design and Aesthetics. Design refers to the development of visualisation as a creative design process. Aesthetics refers to the role of user experience in visualisation, as understood in three distinct components: aesthetic experience, experience of meaning, and emotional experience.
