About this Event
As storytellers, we work so hard towards the final product that we forget to fall in love with the process.
Here at Lapis, we want to be not just a home for your stories but for your messy middle, too. The one-off concepts, the stray statistics and figures, and everything else we find down the rabbit hole. That’s why we’re launching the Lapis Playground, a whiteboard built by the data storytellers at Kontinentalist, compiling all our experience into one sense-making platform. This feature allows users to make sense of their raw ideas and find the perfect framework for its many moving parts.
This event is for you if you are:
- Data-curious
- A storyteller
- Stuck while writing your stories
- Looking for a home for your stories
- Curious about what goes behind the scenes at Kontinentalist
- Willing to try a new product and give feedback
This November 28th, join us on a day filled with activities, alongside your fellow data practitioners! You will:
- Be some of the first to test out our whiteboard, with guidance from our team members
- Hear from our partner organisations and the stories they made with our new features
- Attend our popular data storytelling workshop (for free!) and learn how you can build a similar piece from scratch
- Tell us what works for you and what doesn’t – we are eager to hear from you!
- Meet others just as curious about data storytelling as you are!
