---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PacificVis is an IEEE sponsored international visualization symposium held in the Asia-Pacific region, with the objective to foster greater exchange between visualization researchers and practitioners, and to draw more researchers in the Asia-Pacific region to enter this rapidly growing area of research. The former name of PacificVis was APVIS (Asia-Pacific Symposium on Information Visualization). This new venue has an expanded scope to include all areas of visualization, and a sponsorship to allow us to achieve a more wide-spread impact.

The 4th IEEE Pacific Visualization Symposium (PacificVis 2011) will be held in Hong Kong, a splendid mixture of tradition and modernity as well as a center of business in the world.
