What’s new for 2014? This year’s topics are reflective of industry shifts in the last year, responding to the biggest needs of today’s data viz gurus, visual designers, data scientists and business executives. This year’s agenda will focus on visualizing open data, the impact of data visualization on business decision-making, user interaction with data and creating visualizations for mobile.
