This month we welcome Andy Kirk who’ll be talking all about…
In data visualisation, the most compelling demonstration of storytelling is surely the representation of time series data. But what are the different techniques for doing this?
In this talk, Leeds based data visualisation specialist Andy Kirk will navigate through the spectrum of creative ways to visualise time series data. Examining everything from timelines, sequences, radial displays, geo-temporal and cartesian methods, you’ll learn about the classics and the contemporaries, developing an increased appreciation for the myriad options to consider for your storytelling challenges.

An IxDF Local Group is a meeting point for people with a passion for design in your city.
You don't need to be a designer, just passionate about great design and how it can improve your work and career.
Meetups are the heartbeat of IxDF Local Groups, whether we meet at a café, a creative space or a local company. There's nothing quite like the magic of meeting face-to-face to share ideas and inspiration.
We also host regular IxDF Design Dinners, where we enjoy great food and help each other learn and grow. Even a simple coffee meetup in a café can ignite collaborations and friendships that last a lifetime.
You'll also have a private and exclusive online forum where you can openly get help and career advice.
Simply put, we learn together and smile together.
