Deneb, the star of data visualisation.

Deneb is a powerful custom visualisation in Power BI, which allows us to build precise bespoke visualisation without the limitations of standard Power BI visuals. However there is a learning curve to overcome.

This session helps break down that barrier and show the steps to being proficient in the required skills are not that steep.

We will look at the first steps into Vega-Lite, one of the languages used in Deneb, and break down the basic components needed to build your first visuals and beyond.

Your report looks boring and nobody cares

What people want from your Power BI report is the data. Readable, clear and insightful.

Spending time, clicks, and energy adding 'visually impressive' elements will do little to help the user acceptance of your new report.

Using only Power BI Core visuals, this talk will demonstrate how to avoid the tempting pitfalls of Power BI report development.

To ditch the unnecessary, and focus on what matters, declutter the visual to enable the analysis.

Connect Live: Even More Live

An informal, unplanned, in-person chat, simultaneously live streamed.

Joined by another person in the Power BI community we chat about about Power BI, data, and many other things, which are often completely unconnected to the data world.

This session encourages open conversation about not only data topics, but topics that are important away from data, that influence career paths, and how we approach problems we are faced with personally and professionally.

As we chat, people in the audience are encouraged to ask questions that we may or may not answer.

Goodbye visual shite, hello vega-lite

Break free from the restrictions of Power BI core visuals and enter a world where you have complete control of every element of your data visualisations.

With Vega-Lite and Deneb, you will enter a world of possibilities, walk down the path towards date visualisation awesomeness and discover a world free of the restrictions of clicky clicky draggy droppy datavis.

But be warned, to enter the world of Vega-Lite and Deneb is to learn the possibilities which cannot be unlearned, and will be your first steps to becoming a data visualisation pilkunnussija.
