NYC Data Visualization Extravaganza

The New York City chapter of Hacks / Hackers met on Nov. 9th for a jam packed information session on information and data visualization. The four presenters covered the gamut of information visualization, from online data-viz products, to just launched prototypes, to critical analyses of how graphics are being used in the media. The four speakers for the evening included Marc Rueter from Tableau Software, Matthew Ericson from the New York Times, Alex Lundry from TargetPoint Consulting, and Santiago Ortiz from Bestiario.
