Data visualization greatly enhances not only data comprehension, but it allows for a greater coverage of trends and patterns within structured & unstructured data.

The Data Visualization Summit brings together leaders and experts in the field to   explain and clarify the numerous benefits of using data visualization. One of the top benefits is that data becomes easier to understand, more accessible and presented in a format that helps people better interact with the data as well as analyze it.

Typically data is used for mining and reporting, however there are new sets of data visualization tools that can take your analysis to a whole new level. This has made it possible to quickly understand trends, patterns, and outliers that would not have been noticed with traditional tools.

The Data Visualization Summit will run concurrently with the Big Data Innovation Summit to add to these fantastic networking opportunities.

About The Summit

Previous Speakers

Christine Daniloff is the Creative Design Director at MIT. She lives in Boston and is passionate about beautiful and compelling imagery. She illustrates and designs largely for the world of science and technology and her work has been featured on Wired online, the BBC, NBC News, The Creators Project and Popular Mechanics to name a few. When not making images about algorithms and bio chem., she draws images of people in cities and exhibits her work. She also likes dogs.

The Power of Good Imagery;Visualizing Complex Subject Matter for a Broad AudienceThe data’s been collected, compiled and combed through. Trends detected, advances and discoveries have been made and tested. Publication is imminent. Now it’s time to share the work with the greater world. But words and charts alone are not enough. Often, the most inviting path into complex material is through beautiful, accessible imagery. In fact, visuals are critical to helping the world at large understand the significance and ramifications of important and groundbreaking research. Images that show how deep-science works in the lab, or the significance of information extracted from big data sets, or the promise of more efficient algorithms, can illuminate those things that touch all of us—from the power of our cell phones to drug delivery devices to improved methods of learning online. By looking at effective examples of science and technology imagery – and some that missed the mark – I’ll explore how clear and robust visuals are crucial to our understanding of complex work and how they help us to see more clearly the world we may inhabit in the future.

5 Lessons we Learned About Data Visualization... From Middle-SchoolersMiddle schoolers, a notoriously tough crowd to engage, actually have a lot to say.   In this talk, we share lessons learned while creating online educational environments that put struggling readers in charge of their learning. Data visualizations were central to our process, affecting everything from how we operated as a group, to our research approach, student insights, and our design strategy. We played at the intersection of learning analytics, a rich network of reading content, and interactive dashboard visualizations with the aim of empowering middle schoolers to take ownership of their goals and progress, to engage, inform, and coax them towards their personal best.

Rani is a multimedia journalist and an editorial producer at GigaOM. She is a graduate of Columbia Journalism School, where she specialized in data visualization and digital media. Before heading to the big city, Rani worked in the high desert as a culture editor at the Santa Fe Reporter. Before that she served as editor in chief of her Midwest alma mater's newspaper, The Oberlin Review. She's originally from Long Island. These days she lives in Brooklyn, where she makes graphs, tells stories and talks to strangers. She writes mostly about technology, data visualization and design.

Data as Art Through VisualizationsArt informs technology and technology informs art. Technology enables new ways to present information but, at the same time, it’s useful to pay attention to how artists and designers solved problems before computers were involved. I discuss taking the same critical eye toward information design and data visualization as we would traditional means of communication and art.

Sal Uryasev is the resident data werewolf at LinkedIn.  He has worked on a number of data driven products, including LinkedIn Skills, data standardization and most importantly, LinkedIn InMaps (inmaps.linkedin.com).   Sal specializes in data visualization, machine learning, Hadoop, and just downright hacking.  Before LinkedIn, he worked on a data visualization framework at Juice Analytics, a Reston, VA based company specializing in information visualization and professional dashboards.

Visualizing your LinkedIn Network with InMaps - A True Story

Data visualization is a powerful tool for reducing a complex data set to actionable insights.  LinkedIn InMaps (inmaps.linkedin.com), one of the most popular visualizations on the web, does exactly that.  This talk tells the story of crunching through large networks on Hadoop, and our quest through data platforms that led us to coming up with our own hybrid data visualization solution.   Further, Sal, the first LinkedIn Data Visualization Scientist, will reveal some personal lessons on what an InMap says about the type of networker that you are.

He joined the Globe after 14 years as a print and online designer at The Baltimore Sun, where his work was recognized by the Society for News Design.5 Lessons we Learned About Data Visualization... From Middle-Schoolers

Visualizing the NewsUsing data to tell stories on the web presents unique challenges for journalists. How do we decide which stories are broad enough to attract a large audience, yet focused enough to yield a cohesive narrative? How do we present data visualizations on devices of all sizes  when the every user comes to our content with the same hunger for information? Find out  how The Boston Globe has approached these questions in the context of long-term projects as well as breaking news.

She lives in Brooklyn, NY with her daughter and her husband, illustrator Eric Palma.

And They Lived Happily Ever After... Telling Stories with DataYou've got data, now what? How do you find the story within your metrics in a way that informs and delights your audience?   We'll look at the process of extracting narratives from datasets, some of the best practices for visualizing data and dissect some successful (and some not so successful) examples of visual storytelling.

How Do We Filter and Present Data to our Audience in a Clear and Exciting Way?How do we filter and present data to our audience in a clear and exciting way? With millions of daily readers, w i t h v a r y i n g d e m o g r a p h i c s a n d d e g r e e s o f sophistication, we must present information as quickly and clearly as possible. We accomplish this in part by presenting the data in multiple levels of interaction. At first glance, a viewer gets the overall picture, if they continue to explore, more information is revealed. By making the visualization fun, interactive, and visually exciting, our readers can engage with the content while making it easy to understand the key concepts we are trying to convey.

If Your Audience is Hungry, Feed Them Pie: Processes, Practices and Ruminations on Visualization ReportsIn the midst of witnessing a hysterical debate over the use or non-use of pie charts, I found that the data visualization "world" had fallen under the spell of an inflexible rule-base tyranny.  This tyranny not only stymies "good" visualization design, but also "good" data design.For starters, throw out the established rule book.  If your customers want pie (charts) then give it to them.  These horrid charts can be blended into an effective report after establishing a rapport with your customers.  How?  This all starts with developing a proactive and iterative framework that is made up of an integrated data visualization cadre.  Who is the cadre?  A team of visualization developers, analysts, testers, and database developers.  How do you find them?  That's the cherry on the pie!

Jon Roberts has ten years of research experience on topics ranging from producing dark matter at the Large Hadron Collider to how the highest energy cosmic rays reach us from distant galaxies. He consults on data science and visualization problems with New York tech startups and can often be found at hackathons in the city, recently winning the NYC NASA space apps challenge and the Bit.ly Hack to the Future events.

Playing With GalaxiesAdding interactivity to a data visualization allows your audience to play with data. Think about how you understand data as a data scientist. You try things, you see how varying one parameter affects the others, and those interaction inform your conclusions. If you provide the same capacity to your audience, they will play with your data and do the work of convincing themselves. I'll talk about my work creating interactive data visualizations to convey conclusions in astroparticle physics, including interactive simulations of all our local galaxies.
