CALL FOR SPEAKERS

At DVS, one of the ways we nurture, celebrate and advance the data visualization community is through our DVS Affiliated Groups initiative. These Groups plan, organize and host events for members to connect and collaborate through shared geographic locations or interests. 

To address a key need for Group organizers, we want to help connect organizers with speakers to present at their events.
