audio is fine, but screen contrast / lighting makes the screen appear practically blank ( I saw zero '5's :)

Megan MillerThis meet-up was great for meeting people in the dataviz community and networking. I feel like the talks were a bit introductory and could have been better curated, but overall, I think it was a great start to a series!
-
Jack ShenIt was great. The talk and people there were quite interesting. I also like the room setting, enough space and food.
-
Marie BallengerReally interesting to not focus so much on the technical aspects of data viz and look more at what makes data viz useful to the end user. Got a lot of good ideas to think about incorporating into my work and it was also good to talk with others, get names of people whose work I should look into, get names of programs to use and books to read, etc.
