Data In Sight: Making the Transparent Visual

Join us for a hands-on data visualization competition held June 24th-26th, 2011, at the Adobe Systems, Inc. offices in San Francisco's SoMa District. Open to coders, programmers, developers, designers, scientists, members of the media-anyone who believes that data is divine and has ideas for bringing it to life.

On Saturday, hear from data visualization experts from the Netherlands and Switzerland-Dutch graphic designers from Catalogtree and LUST and Switzerland-based interaction designers from Interactive Things-then roll up your sleeves and get hacking on a data visualization of your own and compete for prizes.
