About this talk
In this engaging session, data visualisation expert Piotr Garlej challenges common perceptions about presenting data, arguing that the issue often lies in the presentation rather than the data itself. He embarks on the Quest for the Ultimate Data Visualisation Rule, rigorously testing popular guidelines and uncovering the Google-inspired principle that demands respect for the audience’s time. Using live transformations, including a famous slide from the Afghanistan war and a compelling defense of the donut chart, Piotr demonstrates that effective data visualisation can be both informative and captivating. This talk redefines how to approach chart design and data storytelling, making presentations more impactful.
