This Friday the US State Department will be hosting a data visualization conference at “Tech@State”, and the event is free and open to the public. Why might you care? Check out the impressive speaker list, with a Keynote from Edward Tufte himself.
The first day of the event, Friday, September 23 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., will be held in the Atrium and Foyers at the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, 2700 F Street NW, Washington, DC 20566. It will feature government and non-government speakers and data visualization experts assembled from throughout the nation. The second day, Saturday, September 24 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., will take place at the Microsoft Innovation and Policy Center, 901 K Street NW, Washington, DC 20001, and will feature an all-day “unconference,” at which attendees will generate their own agenda based on the interests and expertise of the crowd.
While the event is free & open, it is a limited number of attendees so registration is required. If you’ll be in the DC area this weekend, check it out!
