WEBINAR

Sep 18, 2026

1:00 - 2:00 PM ET

Learn how to apply core design and narrative principles to your data visualizations, creating an impactful experience for your audience. In this two-part session, you'll strengthen your visual communication and storytelling skills. This is not a tutorial on any specific data visualization tool, and it won't teach you how to build a chart or dashboard in a particular software. Instead, it focuses on the thinking behind effective visualization: how to develop a narrative, apply techniques that engage your audience, weave in data-driven stories, and ultimately present those stories with greater confidence and clarity.
