Have you ever presented a data report to your manager or leadership team thinking it was super dope as you were able to get all the relevant information in a chart, but all they saw was a pile of numbers and trends that didn’t make much sense to them? Wondered how you could declutter those confusing numbers through visuals & presentation that has flawless clarity and drives the point you wish to convey?
Data storytelling is an approach for framing data in a way that is easy to understand and tailored to engage the audience.

You get to learn about the key elements of data storytelling and deep dive into 2 key elements of any data presentation: creating compelling data visualizations and building a persuasive narrative.
If you are a project professional who works (or has ever worked) with data/charts and would like to transform your charts and confidently convince using your insights, this event is for you.
