This is the best data festival for all data enthusiasts in London, powered by The DataFoundry movement. Business people, data analysts, data hackers and data scientists all come together for a full weekend of exploring the data world. The DataFestival.London is primary for three groups. For business users there is the Friday event which will be filled with real people stories and learnings about how they've transformed their business thanks to data and it's democratization. For the data geeks there is afternoon hacking from Friday night to Sunday for anyone interested in working on data sets with fellow minded people and great tech to try for free. Note: this is not a competition event. This event is just for learning, bonding, and having fun!

This conference aims to explore the evolution of research communication and requirement for data visualisation. Data visualisation is a field that spans all disciplines, yet it is not always done well and visual representations are not used as often as they could be. This may be due to time constraints, publishing limitations or lack of training in the correct graphics or statistics software. You will be looking at how to combat these issues and how to help researchers use visualisations to communicate their work and complement their publications. In addition to the main conference there will be a Hackday, an additional research communication & data visualisation hackathon which is free to attend.
