Can dashboards tell stories? Panel discussion at the IBCS Annual Conference

IBCS Annual Conference on June 24, 2022
16:00 to 16:45 CEST

A good visualization helps telling a story – no question about it. But doesn’t the data visualizer need to know the story before visualizing it? How then can a constantly same dashboard tell stories? Yet some data-viz experts and analytics software vendors claim they can. And indeed, the answer is not as simple as it seems at first glance.

This is why we will discuss this topic at the IBCS Annual Conference with an amazing line-up of experts from different perspectives. In a talk show we will open new ideas for future communication in business. Different opinions and arguments of the panellists could lead the audience to innovations in BI solutions. Perhaps the future of dashboards will need some rethinking. Maybe there are even some new ideas for start-ups?
