Speakers
Imagine: you’re at work. You’ve been handed a chart summarising important data, which you have to relay to others on your team. Your heart sinks when you realise: this visualisation wasn’t created with you in mind. You’re colour blind, so you can’t see what the chart is trying to tell you.
It isn’t enough to be able to create accurate and visually appealing data visualisations - they need to be accessible to everyone.
Watch this free online workshop and learn fundamental data visualisation design principles and how to make your designs more accessible. You’ll discover why accessibility is so important, and top tips for making your visualisations usable for everyone.
Who should watch
This workshop is for anyone who wants to learn how to make accessible data visualisations, whether you’re a pro at data visualisation or are just getting started.
