The Data Visualization Summit brings together leaders and experts in the field to explain and clarify the numerous benefits of using data visualization. One of the top benefits is that data becomes easier to understand, more accessible and presented in a format that helps people better interact with the data as well as analyze it. Typically data is used for mining and reporting, h ow ev e r t h e r e a r e n ew s e t s of d a t a visualization tools that can take your analysis to a whole new level. This has made it possible to quickly understand trends, patterns, and outliers that would not have been noticed with traditional tools. The Data Visualization Summit will run concurrently with the Big Data Innovation Summit to provide fantastic networking opportunities. Confirmed Speaker Information Krishna Grade & Chunyan Wang Data Scientist & Engineering Manager Pinterest Krishna Gade is the engineering manager for the data team at Pinterest. His team builds core data infrastructure to enable data driven products and insights for Pinterest. They also get to work on some of the cutting edge big data technologies like Kafka, Hadoop, Storm, Redshift etc. Before Pinterest, Krishna lead the data infrastructure team at Twitter where he worked on distributed caching and stream processing. Scalable A/B experiments at Pinterest A/B Experiment is a form of randomized test that many companies use to make data driven decisions. At Pinterest, we have hundreds of A/B experiments running at the same time each day for the launch of new product features, and also improving quality and user engagements. In this talk, we describe how we built a scalable system to process and visualize A/B experiment metrics. We designed the framework in such a way that it is extensible and generic enough to support different kinds of cohort/segmented analysis, and at the same time to scale for large amounts of data generated by ever increasing number of experiments, users and metrics to track. We will also cover some of the challenges we faced in building and deploying this system to production. Chunyan Wang is a Software Engineer of the data team at Pinterest. He is mostly working on big data analytics and data infrastructure. Before Pinterest, Chunyan earned his PhD from Stanford.

Evan Roberts Senior Data Visualization Engineer Logitech Evan Roberts leads the visualization team within BI and the Tableau COE. His work spans company wide, working with multiple teams on raising the level of visualization in Logitech. In addition to creating dashboard solutions for departments, his team heads global training on the tools and concepts of visualization. Before starting the visualization team, Evan managed worldwide market analytics for the PC gaming division at Logitech. Skip the Meeting, Use a Dashboard Too often, communicating analytics is a tedious and timeconsuming process, involving manually-prepared reports and weekly status meetings where few new insights are gained. We can free up analyst resources, however, by providing simple tools to empower the decision-makers to answer their questions themselves. In his talk, Charlie will share his experience in improving this process with customized visualizations and automated, interactive dashboards. The talk will focus on recommendations on dashboard design - noting that dashboards are not always appropriate - and keeping in mind Ben Shneiderman’s mantra: “Overview first, zoom and filter, then details-on-demand”. The Atlas of Economic Complexity In this talk, I will present The Atlas of Economic Complexity (http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/), a powerful interactive tool that enables economists, policymakers and citizens to visualize a country’s total trade, track how these dynamics change over time and explore growth opportunities for more than a hundred countries worldwide. The Atlas features tree maps, stacked graphs and node-links diagrams, among cutting edge visualizations and interactions. The Atlas is also a research platform for economists as well as visualization researchers. This talk will address both design and technical challenges coming when building and maintaining a visualization platform for the masses, at the web scale. Moving Users from Spreadsheets to Dashboards Over the last two years, Logitech has gone through a transformation of how we leverage and utilize our data to make business decisions. We have moved from a world of spreadsheets and tabular reports to a large Tableau user group and dedicated visualization team. During this process, much has been learned from our failures and successes about key components needed to raise the visualization ability within an organization. Let us share our learning about how to start the process of moving an organization towards the next level of visualization. Confirmed Speaker Information Josh Rood Data Visualization Engineer National Heritage Academies Josh Rood is a mathematician turned visualizer working in education data at National Heritage Academies.

Necessary Uncertainty: Visual Display of Error in Education Education is a data rich environment, but not rich enough. Measuring the learning state and progress of 50,000 students efficiently requires imprecision. However, the display of numbers or visualizations imply precise certainty. In the world of education, data visualization requires teachers and school leaders to understand and carry out action. Teachers take their knowledge of the students they teach, compare it to the data visualization and take action. It is vital to the data visualization’s relationship with the teacher that the confidence of its representation matches the confidence of the visual. Building a Road to Data Visualization Imagine having only five minutes to make a decision after receiving a report in the form of a massive spreadsheet, requiring you to sift through rows and rows of data to find the information you need. This isn’t uncommon for decision makers at any level in a company who are expected to drive business growth. Marc will share how he combined data visualization techniques that focus on how people see data with awareness and training campaigns to transform Caterpillar's traditional approach to presenting information. Beyond Line and Pie Charts: Practical Applications of Complex Data Viz While data visualization has grown in popularity, most of the business application still favors two kinds: charts familiar to everyone (such as pie charts or line charts) or map-based geospatial information visualization. While data viz tools and libraries provide access to more exotic methods, it can be hard to deploy them outside specific domains. This talk will focus on hierarchical data visualization and network visualization and will highlight the strengths and weaknesses of these methods, techniques for gently introducing these methods to potential stakeholders, and best practices for integrating them into data driven applications. Kazuki Sakamoto Data Visualization Specialist New York Economic Development Corporation Kazuki Sakamoto explores geographic data to inform policy decisions. He is an assistant vice president at the New York City Economic Development Corporation, working on data visualization and spatial analysis. His portfolio includes Hurricane Sandy related resiliency redevelopment efforts, affordable housing initiatives, and Universal Pre-K rollout in NYC.

He currently works with HomeAway in Austin, Texas, and when he isn’t busy building dashboards at work, he uses them to dominate fantasy football leagues everywhere. Mapping 311 Graffiti Complaints in NYC New York City residents have access to non-emergency government services through the 311 program. The New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) in conjunction with the New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) responds to individual 311 graffiti complaints. NYCEDC routes the 311 complaints, sends notices to property owners and then sends crews to clean the graffiti. In the office, geographic information systems add spatial analysis to inform policy makers involved with the program. Interactive mapping tools make it is possible to visualize where complaints have occurred over time. The tool allows the program to be more efficient, organizes the data to be easily accessible, and spurs discourse about the spatial patterns that were previously hidden. Interactive maps are indispensable storytelling tools, they explore spatial phenomena and empower the NYCEDC to better understand and respond to future 311 graffiti complaints. Data Viz Gone Wrong: What NOT to do We all know that data is becoming increasingly more important in our everyday lives. We are seeing more visualization every day: at work, in the media, and even on our phones! Unfortunately, not everyone who visualizes their data does so effectively – or even correctly. This discussion will focus on two types of visualizations: Those that do not effectively get their message across to users Those that potentially mislead their users Of course, we won’t spend all our time screaming and shouting, we will also discuss visualization best practices and talk about how we can avoid these errors in our own work. Daniel Oostra Computer Scientist NASA Daniel Oostra is a computer scientist working as a web developer and technical lead for the MY NASA DATA Project (http://mynasadata.larc.nasa.gov). Daniel also leads development on a number of data rich applications for the Committee on Earth Observing Satellites and the Earth Systems, Technology and Energy Education for MUREP project. Daniel’s team takes NASA data and creates visualizations, lessons, activities, and other materials for students, educators and citizen scientists. When not trapped behind his laptop, Daniel plays guitar, creates mobile apps, snowboards and spends time with his six-year old son playing Minecraft. Curating Satellite Data for Students, Educators, and Citizen Scientists Data visualization hinges on one key aspect: its relevance to our users. Our audiences are desperate for data that speaks to their needs and supports their research. NASA has hundreds of thousands of gigabytes of data that are accessible, in theory, but how easy is it for the average person to navigate the varying interfaces, formats and ftp sites? The MY NASA DATA project is focused on finding relevant data within NASA’s data centers and curating this data into a usable format for students, teachers, and citizen scientists to use within their explorations. How do we empower our audiences with simple, easy to use tools that level the playing field with research scientists? During this session we’ll examine the processes we are using to connect users to data, through the use of transformative processes and next generation tools that allow users to extract real meaning from researchgrade data.

Suyog serves as a strategic advisor on data visualization and analytic information delivery for Salesforce Analytics Cloud- "Wave". In past, as a product designer, Suyog has worked on various analytics products - operational analytics, predictive analytics, mobile dashboards, reporting tools and BI. Visualizing Field Instrument Trends: User Reports to User Support Before IoT was such a hot topic, all PacBio instruments (DNA sequencing machines) were capable of calling home and reporting performance data. Using a variety of data mining, analysis, and visualization tools (e.g. Python, R, d3js, and Tableau), we have developed dashboards and reports for internal and customer use, looking for field utilization trends in order for our supply chain to be ready with shipments, looking for performance trends, and attempting to predict if field support events may be about to occur. Can Tigers Predict the Future? WWF uses data to communicate the most ambitious global wildlife goal ever set: Tx2, doubling wild tigers by 2022. Success may help answer questions on global warming, food security, economic and political stability but is hinged on clear persuasive messaging that cuts across language barriers. Can we show a future for a species, can we show how to get there, can we show the significance for the future of our species? Great Paint Doesn’t Make Great Paintings; You Need Great Painters - Transitioning from User Experience to Customer Experience I was part of the team that designed “Salesforce Wave”, A new analytics cloud released by Salesforce last year. Last year was filled with doing a lot of user experience work - building a great UX team, creating personas, doing user research, many brainstorming sessions, a lot of low-fi and high-fi prototypes and pixel perfect visual designs. After 15 months of design work, we released a product that we all were proud of. Our designs grabbed media attention, our team won design awards and we got great feedback from many users and colleagues. But then I was struck with the reality - great paint doesn’t make great paintings, you need great painters for that. I have now moved into a new role that is a bridge between design and customer success. As an Experience Architect, I am now responsible for creating engaging end-user customer experiences. My case study is about how and why I transitioned from user experience to customer experience. I will describe how this new role, which is a combination of business and design is helping me to become a better designer. We all know that design impacts the top line of balance sheets but in this new role, I can quantify that impact and I will discuss the details. I was recently recognized as one of the top inventors at Salesforce. My case study will also describe my experience of moving from an innovation focused role to an execution focused role.

Touching Data Big data. Little data. Open data. Closed data. In the absence of a pointer and mouse, how do we control data with our bodies? Is there a current gestural glossary for data manipulation? If so, what is it and how and where is it being used? What gestures are needed when authoring data versus consuming data? In this talk, I will summarize linguistic theory around language acquisition, considering how humans learn and teach sign language and present original research exploring how users manipulate data via immersive touch UIs. Data is categorized in various ways and articulated via its own specialized vocabulary: aggregate, mash up, drill down, visualize, consume, explore, compare, highlight, slice, dice, analyze, filter, sort, focus, bubble up. These are words we use to define data and our data-driven interactions via verbal language. But in this age of gestural interfaces and touch devices, what is the gestural language of data? As interface designers during this pivotal juncture of the information age, we are in the position to uncover, develop and influence a new language – a sign language of sorts – that allows users to directly manipulate data. Uncover via tapping into the innate human capacity of gesticulation. Develop by using participatory design methods to define new gestures. Influence by observing, recording, and sharing user-defined gestural language research with the broader design community. Charting Collections of Connections in Social Media: Creating Maps and Measures Networks are a data structure commonly found across all social media services that allow populations to author collections of connections. The Social Media Research Foundation's NodeXL project makes analysis of social media networks accessible to most users of the Excel spreadsheet application. With NodeXL, Networks become as easy to create as pie charts. Applying the tool to a range of social media networks has already revealed the variations present in online social spaces. A review of the tool and images of Twitter, flickr, YouTube, and email networks will be presented.
