Drupal NoVA Meetup - D3 DATA VISUALIZATION & AddThis

Our regular meetup is the third Tuesday of every month - currently rotating between ICF and Bixal in Fairfax.

Please join us on August 18 at 7pm for the following presentations, pizza and drinks!

Keenan Holloway from Forum One will be presenting on D3 Data Visualization.

There's no escaping the fact that data visualization is hot right now. Everyone wants to tell their data's story visually, whether it be through a map, chart, or more detailed presentation. The difficulty is there are so many different tools that solve this, each one with their own benefits and limitations. We feel D3.js is the most awesome tool for handling this task -- which is the approach we've used for the sites like the Nation's Report Card, BlueCross BlueShield of North Carolina, GlobalChange, and others.
We'll cover:

​Getting data out of Drupal and into D3
What D3 is and why you should be using it
D3 visualization techniques:
Charts & Graphs
Maps
Specialized Data Visualizations

Matt Carey from AddThis Inc. will be presenting on the new AddThis Audience Targeting Feature

The presentation will provide an overview of the new AddThis Audience Targeting feature which enables site publishers to deliver personalized calls-to-action unique to each visitor that increases audience engagement across a site's most valuable metrics. Backed by the largest network of real time first party user data (15M sites) on the web, AddThis empowers brands with “Amazon-esque” personalization helping them leverage on- and off- domain audience insights to boost site conversions with audience targeting.

Look forward to seeing you there!
