IV2025 – 29th International Conference Information Visualisation and AI&VIS25 – 6th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Visualization

This year, we have the special honor of hosting the IV2025 and AI&VIS25 conferences at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. The conferences will take place hybrid online and at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences from August 5-8, 2025.

The IV2025 and AI&VIS25 conferences provide a vibrant international forum for researchers, practitioners, and thought leaders to exchange the latest advances, innovations, and practical
challenges in the domains of information visualization, visual analytics, and AI-powered visual computing. For nearly three decades, the IV conference has been a cornerstone event in the visualization community, promoting interdisciplinary dialogue and showcasing cutting-edge research. In its 6th edition, AI&VIS25 focuses on the intersection of AI, visualization, and immersive analytics across a wide range of application domains. All accepted papers will be peer-reviewed and published by IEEE in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library and will be submitted for indexing to leading indexing services, including Scopus, Web of Science, and DBLP. Selected contributions will be invited for publication in special issues of the Information Visualisation Journal or an edited volume.
