We are just days away from our 1st CPE event of 2019. There's still time to register to lean about the latest Excel tools and for the 3-hour mini-conference on communicating data visually by the author of Art + Data. Zack Mazzoncini and I spoke for an hour today about his presentation to review some of the materials he has prepared for us - I'm excited! It will be great learning and great networking.
Although it is not absolutely necessary to have a laptop, or even a Tableau trial installed, both may help. Technically the Art + Data presentation is "platform agnostic" so you can use the concepts to build on your current platform (even Excel). Comments last year about wanting to learn about Tableau is what led us to Zack and he will provide some interesting samples and an introductory interactive tour. Whether for personal preparation, or if you simply are unable to schedule this event in, below are a few links to help with your data visualization presentations.
