Think Visual Meetups are monthly in-person events for professionals across industries who want to expand their visual communication toolkit and be inspired by meaningful stories about the power of creativity and visual storytelling.

How might we tell more effective and compelling stories with data in order to understand—and improve!—the experiences of others?

With over nine years of data expertise, ranging from the worlds of business intelligence (BI), user experience (UX), and research, our keynote speaker Isabel Almaguer will deliver a presentation on The Power of Data Visualization.

Informed by her experience and insights as a senior data advisor and user experience researcher, Isabel will address questions such as:

  • What is Data Visualization?

  • How might we tell a story with data?

  • How BI and UX aren't so different after all!
