    Description

    Information is Beautiful...

    David McCandless will present the themes from his new book, Knowledge is Beautiful, expanding the approach beyond data and information to the richer, deeper, denser material of "knowledge". Whether its science, politics, finance or just the hidden patterns in Hollywood storylines, David uses this new approach to reveal intricate, invisible and sometimes hilarious stories lurking in the data, information & knowledge surrounding us.

    Who should attend?

    Anyone interested in design, data visualisation, the big data, presentating data in a graphical format, technology and interactive design collaborations. Creative professionals, entrepreneurs, designers, illustrators, publishers and blogger.
