Stephen Few at Fort Mason
I just spent the past three days at Stephen Few's West Coast Data Visualization conference, exploring the use of data in presentations, dashboards, and analytics.
Stephen's books are fantastic, I recommend you pick up all three. The conference basically walked through each book. If you can't or don't find the time to read, these workshops are an excellent substitute.
If you have already read the books and understand them, the value proposition falls off dramatically. The question and answer segments were useful; as were Stephen's demonstrations of some of the leading software products. I could have used more activities, but that's a personal preference.
Ultimately, Stephen's passion for this topic and the mix of attendees made this an event worth attending.
