Announcements

This is an administrative, bullet-pointy post to share a few quick updates about my training workshops requiring more than twitter’s 140 characters limit.

As I mentioned in my previous post, many moons ago, I am giving a talk at the OpenVisConf in 3 weeks’ time. The title of my talk is ‘The design of nothing’ and in this last post I reached out for people to send in stories or examples related to this matter.

In one month from now the 2014 OpenVisConf will be held in Boston, MA. Having watched coverage of the inaugural 2013 conference from afar (check out the highlight reel and watch the talks, it looked super) I am thrilled to be one of the chosen few to join the speaker line-up for this year’s two-day event.

Just a little update about things relating to this site. I am currently working behind the scenes with a couple of bright design and developer minds on a brand new website and design identity.

After a happy two years living amongst the rolling hills and picturesque scenery of Hebden Bridge, this week, my wife and I are weighing anchor and moving back to the metropolis of Leeds.

I now have the final confirmed locations and dates for my data visualisation workshop schedule for the initial part of 2014. Chicago (16th May) and Montreal (19th) were the final outstanding pieces in the jigsaw.

A few weeks ago I invited suggestions for locations I should look to arrange my next schedule of public data visualisation training workshops up to around May 2014.

Quick announcement to say, thanks to General Assembly, I will be running a 90-minute evening introductory workshop on data visualisation, 19:45 to 21:15 on Monday 28th October. The cost is £25 per person.

With the final few remaining places disappearing on my upcoming Autumn training events it feels like a good time to open up another opportunity for people interested in my training offerings to influence where I take my next set of events.

After what seems like an age since I started working on it, I have finally found the time to update my essential collection of visualisation resources, which was last published in 2011.
