About us
The goal of this group is to help to foster a data viz community here in Chicago. <3
The plan is to host talks, intro classes, discussion groups, hack sessions, etc. that revolve around advanced data visualization.
We want to encourage the data viz community of Chicago to be involved in this meetup in whatever way seems exciting for them. Have an idea for an event? Want to give a talk? Want to help organize? Perhaps you've been working on a really awesome data viz project that you wanna show off? Ping us!

Chicago DataViz Meetup Planning Session
·OnlineOnlineFREE event. YOU DON"T NEED TO JOIN Meetup+! Being a member of Meetup is free, but the Meetup organization, seeking additional revenues, has introduced Meetup+, a paid membership tier as a way to have members also pay a subscription fee for additional features.
We want to hear from you!!! (NOT an April Fools' Joke!)
"Decisions are made by those who show up."
The Chicago DataViz Meetup has been quiet for a while now. The original Organizer stopped paying the Meetup dues, and I stepped in to save the group from being shut down. Most of the DataViz Meetups groups around the country have been struggling since the pandemic, but I’d like to get things started again.
I’d like to get back into holding events (in-person and online). This Planning Session will be an online Zoom meeting, and everyone is invited to attend and share their opinion.
- Do you prefer in-person or online events? Or both?
- What types of events do you want to see?
- Are you interested in helping out with events?
- Can you recommend any locations we could use for local in-person events?
- Any speaker suggestions for local Chicago events?
If you won’t be able to attend, please complete this Google Forms survey so you can still add your thoughts: https://forms.gle/GbXFz77NG4rNu1su6
