Join us at Bayes Centre in Edinburgh for a deep dive into data visualisation techniques with the 2024 Tableau Iron Viz competition champion, Chris Westlake!

Iron Viz is the world’s largest data visualisation competition, so we are thrilled to welcome Chris to share the insights and expertise that not only got him to the final but secured his spot as 2024 champion!

At this event, Chris will build a live data visualisation in front of our very eyes whilst talking through the rationale for his decision making, explaining his choice of visualisation techniques and answering any questions along the way.

In addition to the live data viz, there will be lots of opportunities to network and connect with the community.
