Why interactive data visualization is critical to industry
Keynote
Data Visualization: A Few Lessons I’ve Learned the Hard Way
Alberto Cairo has spent the past 20 years designing data visualizations and teaching others how to do so, as well.
“We are living through a second golden age of data visualization,” says Cairo, Knight Chair of Visual Journalism and the Director of Visualization for Data Science and Computing at University of Miami. “This is thanks, in part, to the appearance of tools such as JMP® that let us access data and explore data and navigate data and extract meaning from the data.”
Cairo shares hard-won lessons learned over the course of his career, including:
- When to use a visualization instead of a table.
- Visualization myths we should question.
- Why your visualization isn’t as intuitive as you may think.
- The importance of representing your data at multiple levels of granularity.
- Understanding the purpose of various graphics.
- The fundamental reason we use visualizations.
