*Introduction*

  PacificVis is an IEEE sponsored international visualization symposium
held in the Asia-Pacific region, with the objective to foster greater
exchange between visualization researchers and practitioners, and to draw
more researchers in the Asia-Pacific region to enter this rapidly growing
area of research. Previous PacificVis symposia were held in -

*Kyoto (2008), Beijing (2009), Taipei (2010), Hong Kong (2011), Songdo
(2012), Sydney (2013), Yokohama (2014), Zhejiang (2015), and Taipei (2016)*

all sponsored by IEEE VGTC.

*Location and Dates*
