<DIV><SPAN><SPAN><STRONG>About the Event</STRONG>:</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><SPAN>Compelling visualizations are a powerful output. They enable insight, communicate knowledge, & drive change. Sharing the journey to a compelling visualization can be even more impactful. The raw data & complex transformations leading to the visualization can empower others to derive a better understanding of how the world works & build on the initial visualization or take their insights in unexpected directions. In the sad status quo, these inputs & transformations are rarely shared.</SPAN></SPAN><A HREF="https://www.kaggle.com/" TARGET="_blank" REL="noopener noreferrer noopener nofollow noopener noreferrer nofollow nofollow noreferrer nofollow">Kaggle</A> is building a community-focused platform to change this.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>In this talk, the presenter will discuss the open source tools & technologies that enable reproducible data science & visualization. Following best practices here has enabled the community to create compelling visualizations more efficiently & pursue new directions.</DIV>
