At the DataStories Symposium 2020 we will explore how people engage with data to create stories.

In two half days we aim to bring together experts from academia, industry and the third sector to discuss, generate ideas and inspire future interdisciplinary collaborations aiming to explore Human Data Interaction in relation to storytelling with data. The event will take place virtually.

There will be three exciting keynote speakers, interactive sessions and lightning talks to showcase ongoing work and to discuss current challenges around datastories.

Currently confirmed speakers include: Anna Feigenbaum (Bournemouth University), Andrew Tatem (University of Southampton), David Caswell (BBC News Labs), Benjamin Bach (University of Edinburgh), Kathleen Gregory (DANS), Michele Mauri (DENSITYDESIGN LAB), Caelainn Barr (The Guardian), Phil Harvey (Microsoft), Tom Blount (University of Southampton), Nick Holliman (Newcastle University), Marc Streit (Johannes Kepler University Linz), Ginestra Ferraro (King’s College London), Stefanie Posavec.

The event is free of charge and will be held on ZOOM.
