Hey ho everyone, let's talk about explorable explanations at this very first data vis meetup in 2018! We start the year with speakers we're very excited about. Maarten is even coming from Belgium to Berlin just for this meetup! So let's gather, talk about data vis and have a drink or two. These are the speakers this time:
Maarten Lambrechts
Maarten Lambrechts (https://www.twitter.com/maartenzam,http://www.maartenlambrechts.com/ ) is a data journalist and visualisation consultant from Belgium. He has a background in bio-engineering and agricultural economy, but stumbled into data journalism years ago. He worked at Belgian newspaper De Tijd until the end of 2016, since then he is working as a freelancer.
Maarten also manages the Explorable Explanations Twitter account (https://twitter.com/explorables ). At the Meetup he will demonstrate and explain the power of Explorable Explanations, talk a bit about the Explorable Explanations “movement” and briefly introduce some tools to make Explorable Explanations.
