This month’s Meetup is on 2nd May 2018. The topic this month is Data Visualisations with a slight skew to Digital Analytics. You can have all the data you want but the key is to use that data to tell a story to impact business decisions. This Meetup is all about how to visualise data in order to tell a story. We’ll be joined by the following speakers: Dr John Woods - Director & Co-founder, Sharp Ahead An astrophysicist turned software engineer turned technology entrepreneur. He was a pioneer of the digital analytics industry in the UK, founding early web analytics specialist Site Intelligence in Oxford in 2000. After some other adventures in early-stage technology he is now a director and co-founder of specialist B2B digital marketing agency Sharp Ahead. John will be taking us through “The graph that measured the Universe” - Taking an example from history John looks at how astronomers in the early 20th century developed a single graph that became the key to understanding the size of the universe. Annabel St John-Lyle – Senior Product Analyst, reed.co.uk Annabel is responsible for the Digital Analytics and Measurement Strategy for a range of REED’s products. She looks after the analytics implementation, user analysis and customer feedback to improve product features and user journeys. Annabel will be taking us through how to explore spatial data on a range of maps using an open source data set and some key map packages in R, as well as other custom visualisations she has found useful. The third speaker will be you… This month we’re mixing it up a bit and want you to show us your favourite visualisation techniques and tools. You only need to speak for a minute or so. Please drop us a note at [masked] if you would like to share or just let us know on the night. This will be followed by a discussion, where everyone can share what has worked and not worked for them.
