There's no better time...
Learn how to visualize data like a professional.
Data visualization is a powerful tool for telling stories with data. It can help us see patterns and trends that we might not have noticed otherwise, or tell a story in a way that’s more compelling than just numbers on a page. But it’s also hard work! There are so many different chart types out there, and each one has its own strengths and weaknesses. How do you choose the right one for your data? And once you pick the best type of graph, how does it fit inside your wider story? This workshop will teach attendees everything they need to know about visualizing their data effectively.
New methods and new thinking
Stop your current way of reporting. Make the leap into better design.
The hope is that our workshop attendees will get a well-rounded set of techniques to get insights from data and communicate them better in more simplified ways. Datalabs instructors teach the workshop attendees what we, as a data visualization agency know, giving attendees new options and outlets for their data and their careers.
