the first part will be a talk in which Nadieh will take you along on her
journey of lessons learned, challenges faced and the insights gathered
from doing data sketch|es (http://www.datasketch.es/), a year long

visualization each month -
the second part will be a hands-on, where you can apply and
experiment with ideas and techniques presented by Nadieh in her talk,
to create your own data visualizations
