This looks like a really fun conference:
So you know, if you happen to be in Paris...
A conference for intermediaries between data, knowledge and empowerment.
We will investigate selection, visualisation, interpretation and communication of data, and how it can be effectively used to:
help understand complex issues,
make data relevant at a personal level,
close the gap between objective measurement and perception, and take decisions based on evidence.Get a first impression of the conference in the Conference Preview document.
Speakers come from such diverse disciplines as information design, visualisation, social and cognitive science, the media, development planning, economics and statistics.
Participants should expect to leave with insights into their own subject area, a look beyond the usual boundaries of discipline, and new unexpected alliances.
