WORKSHOP ON DATA VISUALIZATION

Visualizing data helps people see, interact with, and better understand data. Whatever the complexity, the proper visualization can bring everyone together, regardless of their expertise. The ability to understand data better is beneficial to virtually every professional industry. A thorough understanding of data is necessary for every STEM field, as well as in fields such as government, finance, marketing, history, consumer goods, service industries, education, and sports. Despite our love for data visualization, there are practical, real-life applications that cannot be denied. As a result of its prevalence, visualization is also a handy professional skill. Visually conveying your points is key, whether in a dashboard or slide deck. In recent years, citizen data scientists have become increasingly popular. Data-driven worlds require new skill sets. Professionals increasingly rely on data to inform who, what, when, where, and how they make decisions. Modern professional worlds value those who can cross between creative storytelling and technical analysis: data visualization sits right in the middle of analysis and visual storytelling.
