Tableau Software : Celebrating International Chart Day

If you happen to be in the Washington DC area, you can attend a free daytime panel or evening reception to hear from experts like Alberto Cairo and Simon Rogers. Learn more about that event and register here, and read Alberto's comments about the commemoration here. If you do manage to go, you'll likely bump into Tableau Ambassador and co-organizer of the DC Data + Women group, Brittany Fong of BFong Data. Make sure to say hi to Brittany for us.

For the rest of us outside of DC, there are other ways to get involved and participate, too. Organizers of the event are calling on everyone to share favorite charts and data visualizations on social media, tagging them with #ChartDay. As an added bonus: 'If you are holding up the chart in the photo, tag it with #HumanEasel.' Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic, author of the book Storytelling With Data, is also encouraging everyone to share a visualization using the hashtag #InternationalChartDay.

Let's do the same! Share a link to one of your favorite Tableau Public visualizations, include the hashtags #ChartDay, #InternationalChartDay, or #HumanEasel, and be sure to explain why you think it's particularly effective-both at conveying information and at engaging audiences visually. Below we've included some of our recent favorites.
