Information+ Conference 2025
Interdisciplinary practices in
information design and
visualization
14—16 November, in Boston, MA
Information+ is a biennial conference that brings together researchers, educators, and practitioners in information design and data visualization to explore shared questions and challenges in these rapidly changing fields. We aim to provoke rich, interdisciplinary discourse on how information representation engages within social, political and environmental contexts.
Information+ 2025 will be held in-person in Boston, USA, between November 14–16, hosted by Northeastern University’s College of Arts, Media, and Design (CAMD) and MIT’s School of Architecture and Planning through the Leventhal Center for Advanced Urbanism (LCAU) and Morningside Academy of Design (MAD). CAMD, LCAU, and MAD actively promote interdisciplinary approaches to teaching and research in information design, data visualization, and related fields.
This in-person event seeks to significantly foster community building and interdisciplinary exchange. Info+ 2025 continues the effort from previous convenings.
