Data Viz Trainings for Development Professionals

Data Viz Training Needs

We recently sent an ask around for recommendations for data visualization workshop facilitators, and got a number of responses asking if the training was open to anyone interested in registering. We love that there's so much interest in opportunities for in-person training and connecting around data visualization design, and would appreciate your quick feedback on what kind of trainings and resources you and your colleagues are looking for.

We're working on revamping the datavizhub.co website with more resources, tools, and new posts, including sharing training opportunities and courses. Your responses will help us curate the content we share to meet the big areas of interest in our community.
