APDU Data Storytelling Workshop

Posted on

Good data can make a point. An effective story told with that data can make an impact. The Association of Public Data Users (APDU) is offering a virtual Data Storytelling Workshop where you can learn all the tips, tricks, and tools you’ll need to sell your story, not just tell it.  The workshop is spread out over four days (December 5, 7, 12, and 14, 2023) with each day including a presentation followed by group discussion and hands-on activities.  By the end of this workshop, participants will have increased their understanding about how to communicate effectively with data, create clear data visualizations and maps, and craft data stories.  Learn more, including fees involved, at: https://www.apdu.org/events/data-storytelling-workshop-11-2023/
