Description:

Join us for an exclusive presentation by Kim Reese recorded live at Strata + Hadoop World 2012

Do you work with data regularly but struggle to show it in meaningful ways? Do you wish to energize your others with compelling visual information? Do you feel the communication of your data sometimes falls flat?

The way we deal with data is so far removed from its actual meaning, that it can be difficult to get back to the richness of it. This session will cover practical methods for conveying data visually, such as:

• "Unthinking" data
• Sketching data ideas
• Metaphors
• Rapid prototyping
• Emotion of data

You will walk away better equipped to communicate the nature of your data.
