If you’ve ever struggled to turn your research into a clear figure or poster, this data visualization conference is built for you.

VIZBI 2026 focuses on data visualization in science, with an emphasis on helping researchers present complex data in a clear and effective way. Whether you’re working on figures for a paper, poster, or presentation, you’ll learn practical tools to communicate your work more clearly.

The conference takes place in Cambridge, with additional virtual sessions, making it accessible to a global research community. Unlike traditional conferences, VIZBI focuses on hands-on learning. You won’t just listen to talks—you’ll actively work on improving your own data visualization skills.

Clear data visualization plays a huge role in how research is understood. Even strong science can get overlooked if the visuals are confusing or difficult to interpret. Many researchers learn how to generate data but don’t learn how to present it clearly.

That’s why common problems keep showing up:

• figures that are accurate but hard to read
• posters that feel cluttered
• data that doesn’t translate well into visuals

VIZBI addresses these issues by focusing on practical techniques. Workshops help you rethink how you structure figures, organize data, and guide your audience through your research. You can apply what you learn immediately to your own work.

The event also reflects a bigger shift in science. Clear communication is no longer optional—it’s a core part of doing effective research. If people can’t understand your results, your work has less impact.

📍 In person: Cambridge | April 14–17, 2026
💻 Virtual sessions: April 21 & 23, 2026

This data visualization conference is especially useful if you:

• work in science research or data-heavy fields
• create figures, posters, or publications
• want to improve how you present data
