The Visualization Paradox: Myth vs. Fact

Think you know the rules of good data visualization? What if some of them are wrong? In this fun, thought-provoking session, we’ll challenge some of the most common beliefs in data visualization and separate myth from fact. Is less always more? Are pie charts really that bad? Should every dashboard be interactive? Does a beautiful report automatically tell a better story?

Through visual examples, and real-world scenarios, we’ll explore what actually makes a visualization effective and why the answer is often "it depends."

Plenty of examples, surprising truths, and ideas that will make you rethink how you design and consume data. Come ready to question the rules, challenge what you’ve been taught, and see data visualization from a different perspective.
