Let's explore data!

View event schedule    Join event virtually via Zoom

About

Over the course of 24 hours, scholars and practitioners from around the globe will present and discuss their work in a fun and accessible style. There will be presentations, panels, and a musical intervention. We will feature behind-the-scenes videos, demonstrate valuable tools and methodologies, and have fun exploring interactive data visualizations.

We hope the event will help kickoff the holiday season, create ever more excitement for the power and data and visualizations, share the pleasures of scientific discovery, and give good energy to all on this planet who are affected by the ongoing pandemic and raging wars.
