The theme for the 2016 conference is "Discussing priorities | Developing a field". Visual communication is now an established discipline with a burgeoning professional practice, varied educational systems, critical research, national and international conferences and competitions, trade magazines, and academic journals. Across many areas, visual communication is entering a period of sustained growth and expansion. This calls for strategic decisions for directions of development, setting priorities for action, and clarifying relationships with related areas of activity.
The 6th ICTVC will take place from 5 to 9 July 2016 in Thessaloniki, Greece. A series of workshops (5 & 6 July) will precede the main conference (7 to 9 July) and the exhibitions will constitute an important part of the event. ICTVC attracts an international audience from both the academic and industrial community and has established itself as one of the premiere international gatherings in this field. Continuing the success of the past conferences, ICTVC aims to attract high quality papers in all aspects of typography and visual communication. |
