Organized by the Bocoup Data Visualization team, OpenVis Conf draws each year an outstanding line-up of speakers from the cutting edge of data visualization in both industry and academia. Since its inception, the conference has brought together hundreds of data visualization practitioners from across the globe for thoughtful conversations within an inspiring community of peers. The conference has served as a platform for launching new projects, designing new libraries, forging partnerships, and strengthening the ties between our community and the open web platform. For OpenVis Conf 2017, we’re celebrating our fifth birthday high above Boston at the magnificent State Room, where our speakers will showcase the latest and greatest in data visualization on the open web.
