Announcements

I’m therefore happy to announce details of new plans to pivot my data visualisation training offerings online.

Today marks the 10 year anniversary of Visualising Data being a thing. A thing that thankfully continues to exist as a website, as an identity, and as a commercial enterprise.

Explore/Explain is a new series of conversations I am recording with data visualisers about their work. The recordings will be published in both video and audio podcast format. I will be the presenter/chief interrogator and I’m delighted to be supported by Matt Knott as producer.

This is an appeal for anyone who has bought/read my book to possibly take out a few moments from their busy schedules to consider positing a rating and review on any book store selling it.

It is just over 2 years since I launched the Chartmaker Directory, an open resource to help people navigate through guidance on what charts can be made in which tools, and how. I’m delighted to note that we have just reached the milestone of 1000 references!

I’m delighted to share news that my new book, the second edition of ‘Data Visualisation: A Handbook for Data Driven Design’ is printed, published and available to order!

After a disrupted 2019, I’m finally now getting round to look forwards again. A key component of that involves considering my prospective schedule of data visualisation training events: how many, what type, when and, crucially, where.

The Encode conference is taking place in London on 19th and 20th September. As I previously posted, this is a brand new two-day conference that aims to ‘bring the creative community together to debate, share and explore the future of data-driven stories’.

Across this week and next, I’m happy to be playing the role of host moderator for one of the Data Visualization Society slack channels – topics-in-data-viz – curating a discussion about a hot-topic in data visualisation.

I recently announced publication details for the forthcoming release of my new book, the second edition of ‘Data Visualisation: A Handbook for Data Driven Design’. I mentioned that I would be running some contests to give people a chance to win a copy
