This year for the vizsec workshop - a trend which will continue at next year's event to be held in Boston, MA in September - we have tried to include more people on the program committee who could be called 'practitioners'. I would like to point out that we have two PNNL members on the program committee for the vizsec workshop, but you may also want to look at the VAST conference, also held in conjunction with IEEE Vis/InfoVis: http://conferences.computer.org/vast/vast2007/ Last year's conference was a definite NVAC/RVAC event, and this year's looks to be the same. I believe that RVAC investigators are encouraged to submit their work to the VAST conference (the excellent paper from Stanford you cite was from last year's VAST conference), which could be why there are so few papers by RVAC members in the vizsec workshop. There are two papers in this year's vizsec workshop that are authored or co-authored by members of PNNL: Bill Pike, Chad Scherrer and Sean Zabriskie.
