Environmental Data Power BI Challenge Showcase: Enterprise DNA

In December, we are very excited to be joined by Brian Julius, the Chief Content Officer at Enterprise DNA and Sam McKay the CEO and Founder at Enterprise DNA to present a review of the Environmental Power BI Challenge Showcase.

Enterprise DNA has been running real-world Power BI Data Challenges for the past two years, but November 2021’s challenge was the first focused on environmental data. Entrants were asked to analyse unmasked data on environmental indicators in the U.S. mid-Atlantic region dealing with precipitation, contaminant exposure, and adult and child asthma prevalence. In this session, Sam McKay and Brian Julius will review the top entries, from an analytical, visualization and data storytelling perspective, and will discuss some of the unique aspects of this challenge and lessons learned compared to past competitions.
