The IEEE VIS Conference (or VIS) hosts more than 1000 people annually. Itbrings together visualization researchers and practitioners from across theworld to share new research and knowledge. Behind the scenes, a team ofvolunteers puts together the entire conference and makes sure it runs smoothly.Organizing involves logistics of the conference, ensuring that the attendeeshave an enjoyable time, allocating rooms to multiple concurrent tracks, andkeeping the conference within budget. In recent years, the COVID-19 pandemichas abruptly disrupted plans, forcing organizers to switch to virtual, hybrid,and satellite formats. These alternatives offer many benefits: fewer costs(e.g., travel, venue, institutional), greater accessibility (who can physicallytravel, who can get visas, who can get child care), and a lower carbonfootprint (as people do not need to fly to attend). As many conferences beginto revert to the pre-pandemic status quo of primarily in-person conferences, wesuggest that it is an opportune moment to reflect on the benefits and drawbacksof lower-carbon conference formats. To learn more about the logistics ofconference organizing, we talked to 6 senior executive-level VIS organizers. Wereview some of the many considerations that go into planning, particularly withregard to how they influence decisions about alternative formats. We aim tostart a discussion about the sustainability of VIS -- including sustainabilityfor finance, volunteers, and, central to this work, the environment -- for thenext three years and the next three hundred years.
