Tuesday, April 24
14:00 - 15:30
Liffey Meeting Room 2

Format: Panel
Level: Yes - CA
Level: Basic

What are the best practices for visualising data? Do you agree with Stephen Few that “less is more”? How do we use the techniques of storytelling, visual interactions and drill to best advantage? Is there ever a good reason to use a pie-chart? We convene a panel of four experts that will each have five minutes to make their case and then there will be a lively Q&A session chaired by Charles Sterling, Microsoft Senior Program Manager.
