This year, CANVAS 2016 will consist of a focused 2-day VA course with visual analytics expert talks. Up to 30 students will participate in the VA course component. There is a $50 registration fee (cheque or cash on site) for this course. It is hoped that some AI/GI/CRV participants may wish to participate in these sessions.
