Speaker Series: Kim Rees of Periscopic

Kim Rees of Periscopic: Living, Breathing Data

Hi everyone and Happy New Year!

I'm very excited to announce the first of our Speaker Series events, where we'll be bringing in leaders in the field of data visualization from all over the world. For our first event I am excited to announce the Kim Rees, cofounder of Periscopic ( http://periscopic.com ), a data visualization firm based in Portland.

Kim Rees ( http://twitter.com/krees ) is a personal hero of mine and has done some amazing, important, and socially conscious work. It is with great pleasure that we are finally able to invite her to speak to our group. Kim has presented at Visualized, Strata, OSCON, VisWeek, and Wolfram Data Summit among others. She is also an advisor to the US Congressional Budget Office and is a guest blogger for Infosthetics and FlowingData.

This event will be held at Yelp, and we will be charging a small fee for entry. Pizza and beer will be provided. Due to demand if you'd like to attend you must purchase a ticket from the event page here:
