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.
Next dates:
» Tue 24th / Wed 25th Jun – UK/EU/APAC, two half days
» 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.
May be useful if you are:
» 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
» A data / code practitioner looking to improve aesthetics and conceptual prowess
Discounts available for students, educators, freelancers, health workers, NGOs & others.

Three years into this terrible conflict, an infographic data story revealing some of the harsh, often hard-to-find numbers around casualties, military budgets and foreign aid in the Russia-Ukraine war.
In times of war, data is difficult to validate, information hard to find. We polled a variety of sources – institutes, traditional media, independent media, civic groups – to find credible estimates and answers to key questions.
How many combatants have been killed and wounded?
What % of territory has been won or lost?
How much money is being spent on the war – and where does it come from?
How important is the USA’s continued support for Ukraine? (Short answer: very).
We hope this data brings a little clarity and shows, at the least, how ongoing international support for Ukraine against the Russian war machine is essential.
