Data Viz Best Practices Webinar with Rebeca Pop

What separates a good chart from a great one? In this Data Viz Best Practices Webinar, Rebeca Pop, founder of Vizlogue, shares how data visualization can move beyond numbers and become a powerful tool for storytelling and change.

Rebeca’s passion for data visualization began when she realized that most professionals were creating charts without the benefit of formal training. That realization led her to study the field in depth, read extensively, attend conferences, and ultimately launch Vizlogue, a lab dedicated to teaching data visualization and data storytelling.

In this session, she focuses on three core principles:

• Storytelling – turning raw insights into relevant and engaging narratives
• Decluttering – removing unnecessary noise so the message stands out clearly
• Creativity – exploring chart types beyond the defaults to unlock new perspectives

To inspire today’s practitioners, Rebeca reflects on the pioneering work of W.E.B. Du Bois, who in the late 1800s created innovative hand-drawn charts that shed light on the African American experience. She also features Hans Rosling, one of the most engaging data storytellers of our time, whose presentations made complex global trends accessible to audiences worldwide.

The webinar blends history, practical techniques, and modern examples to show that data visualization is both a science and an art. Whether you design dashboards, reports, or live presentations, these best practices will help you deliver visual stories that connect with your audience and leave a lasting impact.

Watch the full webinar to see the principles in action and learn how to take your own data visualizations to the next level.
