Now I'm thinking about the amazing swag that OpenVisConf had. Socks! T-shirts! #OpenVisConf #ConferenceSwag

Photograph of a seated person's feet and legs, wearing tights, short boots, and socks. The socks have a pink stripe along the top border, and the rest of the sock is covered in an abstract pink and grey pattern. Past the feet is an out-of-focus conference presenter.

Selfie of a white woman standing in front of a wall with a mural that reads "forever." The woman is wearing a black shirt with an all-over pattern of abstract yellow dotted lines.

also #OpenVisConf talks are excellent! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAsISx0PmXG_hmZk4Emhz-g

Heading home from #Openvisconf, which was really, really good! Hard to identify a common theme or thread but a great summary of what’s going on right now.

My highlights: Shan Carter’s talk on sci comm / distill.pub, @maarten ‘s talk on xerographics, Aaron Williams on mapping segregation in the US.. lots of good for thought.

Also interesting that the big themes of the last years: storytelling and physical/analogue viz were not really discussed (or selected by the committee).

Also, for anyone visiting #openvisconf, I might do a little tour of the show on Wednesday morning. Let me know if you'd like to join!
