Announcing special workshops and trainings to celebrate our 15th anniversary.
Coming up: virtual workshops running on two half days (a much requested new format). And a potential rare in-person session in NYC with IIB founder David McCandless.
Learn how to turn numbers, ideas & data into beautiful charts, graphics & stories. We’ve also added a new “introduction to data storytelling” element so you can begin to learn how to shape and present powerful data stories and narratives.

» Thu 18th / Fri 18th Jul – USA timezone, two half days
» July date TBC 
New York City, full day – notify list
These trainings are a technicolour mix of lecture, exercises, discussion & techniques, hosted by IIB founder and author, David McCandless.
Learn how to approach data-visualisation and infographic creation from an editorial ‘conceptual’ point of view, rather than a data POV.

» Translating written reports, research & messaging into visual graphics
» Wanting to understand data journalism and story-telling with data
» A words and ideas person looking to translate concepts into design language
» A visual / design thinker wanting to expand your approach to include data
