Nick Desbarats’ Practical Dashboards
Feb 6, Feb 7, Feb 8, Feb 9, 2024 | Noon – 3:30pm

(North American Eastern Time)

I’ve held senior business intelligence roles for two decades and am familiar with many data visualization training programs. Nick’s course is currently the best data visualization training in the world. Despite having discussed and studied data visualization with many people over the years, it STILL left me with the feeling of having a reprogrammed brain. I want to go back and redesign every chart that I’ve ever created.

Workshop Description
Join globally recognized data visualization and dashboard design expert Nick Desbarats as he delivers his groundbreaking courses Practical Charts (four half-day sessions) and Practical Dashboards (four half-day sessions) live online. Both courses are based on Nick’s experiences teaching these skills to thousands of professionals in over a dozen countries, at organizations such as NASA, Bloomberg, The United Nations, Visa, Shopify, and Yale University, among many others. Participants may register for either course or both courses.

To ensure a superior learning experience and allow for a high degree of personal interaction and feedback, the Practical Charts course will be limited to 30 participants and the Practical Dashboards course will be limited to 40 participants. As such, this workshop may sell out, so early registration is recommended.

Courses Offered in This Workshop

Practical Charts (33-minute prerecorded video to be watched anytime before workshop begins, then live online Jan. 30, Jan. 31, Feb. 1, & Feb. 2 from noon to 3:30pm Eastern Time each day): Nick Desbarats’ foundational course that equips participants with the principles and best practices to handle every data visualization challenge that they’re likely to face in their day-to-day work, and to create charts that are clear, compelling and —above all— useful.

Practical Dashboards (Feb. 6, 7, 8, & 9 from noon to 3:30pm Eastern Time each day): Nick Desbarats’ groundbreaking course that uncovers the real reasons why so many dashboards fail to deliver real value, and that enables dashboard creators to create dashboards that users actually like.

Why is this workshop more expensive than others?

Yes, the fees for this workshop are higher than those of many other data visualization and dashboard design workshops, however, the courses in this workshop are regarded by many as the best data visualization training that’s currently available. The courses contain many essential tools, frameworks, solutions, and guidelines that aren’t found in other courses, and are delivered personally by globally recognized expert and author Nick Desbarats to small groups of participants. The course content, examples, and exercises are expertly crafted to maximize comprehension and knowledge retention, and to quickly turn participants into highly competent chart and/or dashboard creators.
