Sponsorship Opportunities

The 13th International Symposium on Graph Drawing GD2005 in Limerick Ireland is a premier international conference on information visualization technology.

The Graph Drawing conference series is unique among conferences its size. The blend of theory and application, academia and industry brings research ideas to fruition rapidly through this event. From the beginning 13 years ago, the steering committee’s vision has inspired a process resulting in an annual conference that has become a leading event for the dissemination of knowledge on information visualization. Through this process the various conference committees strive to meet the evolving needs of a very diverse and changing constituency of researchers, entrepreneurs, academics, industrial users, educators and vendors — indeed everyone who has a stake in the evolution of graph drawing and its application.

Participants include industrial executives and researchers, entrepreneurs and SME developers along with the leading academic researchers in the field.

In this forum researchers and practitioners working on both theoretical and practical aspects of the area annually meet from all over the world. The research contributions presented at the conference are traditionally published in a volume of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series of Springer-Verlag.
