The IEEE Visualization Conference (VIS) is an annual conference on scientific visualization, information visualization, and visual analytics administrated by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Visualization and Graphics. As ranked by Google Scholar's h-index metric in 2016, VIS is the highest rated venue for visualization research and the second-highest rated conference for computer graphics over all. It has an 'A' rating from the Australian Ranking of ICT Conferences and an 'A' rating from the Brazilian ministry of education. The conference is highly selective with generally < 25% acceptance rates for all papers.
The first IEEE Visualization Conference was held in 1990, and in 1995 the name was changed to the IEEE Symposium on Information Visualization (InfoVis). The symposium was later renamed into the IEEE Conference on Information Visualization but kept the acronym InfoVis (not to be confused with the other IEEE Conference on Information Visualization that uses the acronym IV). In 2006 the Symposium on Visual Analytics Science and Technology (VAST) joined and was later renamed to the VAST Conference. The original IEEE Visualization track ran under used the acronym VIS for several years but was later renamed to the IEEE Conference on Scientific Visualization using the acronym SciVis in 2013. For a number of years the three conferences ran together under the umbrella name VisWeek until 2013 when VIS was chosen as the joint acronym for all three conferences.
The conference is held in October and rotates around the US generally West, Central and East.

To earn the IEEE VGTC Visualization Technical Achievement Award, an individual must demonstrate significant achievement in a focused area of visualization research. The degree to which this research has helped expand the sub-field and the broader impacts resulting from the research (commercialization, research by others based upon the considered research, use of the results by others outside the field of visualization, etc.) is a distinguishing factor in determining the significance of research efforts. While primary emphasis will be on research achievement, service to the community is expected in all but extraordinary cases and the quality and quantity of service is considered.
