Data Storytelling: a multimedia tour
RJ Andrews (https://twitter.com/infowetrust), will give an epic perspective to our data visualization work. Learn how to generate insights and compel others to action, from analysis to persuasion, with a focus on data visualization and lessons from storytelling, writing, maps, and more. Come find the courage to confront the chaos of data (and perhaps even improve how people see the world). Leave with a new epic perspective to our data work.

Viz & Tell

Get up in front of your peers and talk about a viz project you're working on for 5 minutes. This is a great opportunity to get feed back on your work and to practice your presentation skills in a safe space. If you are interested in presenting, then please email (ortizulloabenjamin@gmail.com) to let us know you want to talk.

Speaker Notes:

You're one of the coolest people in the DC area. You really like data visualization and you're excited to show your work to others. You're also a kind person who can provide constructive criticism to others.
