During this one day event, hear from leading voices and designers in data visualization reflecting on the state of our field, sparking creativity, and sharing the behind the scenes of how shortlisted works for the 2023 IIB Awards were created.
The conference is available to join virtually or in-person at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD.

KEYNOTE
Question Our Data Culture
Rahul Bhargava, Assistant Professor, Northeastern University
Data has moved from the realms of science and statistics to areas such as civic meetings, non-profits, newspapers, and beyond. Unfortunately our dominant cultures of data embed negative power dynamics and disempowering methods that weren’t designed for these pro-social contexts. Creating more appropriate ways to bring people together around data in these new settings of use requires richer examples and a broader toolbox of data visualization built on creative participatory approaches.
