Data Visualization Society Tea Time

Connect with others who are exploring data visualization through this informal networking event.
Whether you’re new to data viz, building your skills, looking for advice, or have experience and ideas to share, join us to meet new people, exchange perspectives, and learn from one another.
This is a free virtual event presented by the Data Visualization Society and is open to the public to join.
How it works
Depending on the number of people, we’ll breakout into smaller groups of 5-8 people.
- We start with a round of introductions: name, pronouns, location, sector or field of work, where you are in your data viz journey, and an icebreaker question
- Then we yap. We’ll have guiding questions, but usually the conversation drifts towards people’s interests whether it’s discussing a project they did recently, asking for advice or feedback, wondering about the future of the data viz field, ranting about a job interview, or more!
“This was a great first event for me after joining the DVS! This Tea Time seems like a wonderful activity for networking and encouragement of new people to dataviz. Thanks for putting it on!“
