Presentation info:

Matt will discuss how to create custom maps in Tableau beyond the default filled and symbol maps. Matt will take us through tile maps, the evolution of hex maps, small-multiple area maps, density maps, and layered shape files.

Ryan will discuss a strategic framework for data visualization, tangible data storytelling tips, and the behind the scenes making of one of his visualizations. Ryan will take us beyond the usual web posts and videos to give us a firm understanding for finding and sharing valuable insights in data using Tableau.

MARTA

• The Peachtree Center MARTA Station is adjacent to the Georgia Pacific building. I encourage using MARTA as it will likely make for a less expensive option than parking and may allow for a quicker exit out of town.
