Effectively communicating data is about supplying the right audience with the right amount of data in the right format.
Science, health, government and nonprofit organizations are collecting unprecedented amounts of data in all kinds of shapes and formats. Despite tools becoming more sophisticated organizations are still figuring out how to unlock their data, put it in an accessible and understandable format and ultimately create impact with that data. Luckily Seattle is a hub for data designers, analysts, researchers and enthusiasts that are making great strides in creating powerful stories told through data.
Join us in learning more about how some of the best data users are communicating data to key audiences and seeing results.
