Data Viz Foundations and AI Frameworks for Effective Charts
Data Visualization
AI
The world runs on data, but the skills required to communicate data insights effectively are still scarce. Most of us were never taught why some charts land and others don't, which makes every new visual feel like a guess.
In this session, you'll learn why data visualization works, when to use each chart type, and how to use storytelling principles and AI tools to build clear, compelling visuals you can apply to your own work.
What you'll learn
Choose the right chart type for your data and message
The chart you pick shapes whether your audience sees the insight or gets lost, and most ineffective charts start with the wrong choice before any formatting decisions are made.
Apply strategic formatting to eliminate noise and direct attention
Default chart settings are rarely optimized for clarity, so knowing what to remove is often more valuable than knowing what to add.
Use data storytelling techniques to communicate insights clearly
A clear chart is only half the job. Framing the takeaway and guiding the audience through it is what turns analysis into action.
Build effective visuals from scratch using AI skills & frameworks
Repeatable AI frameworks turn one-off chart decisions into a consistent approach you can apply to every new dataset and audience.
Who should join this workshop?
Anyone who creates charts or dashboards to communicate data
Analysts and business users who regularly present data to stakeholders
Leaders who want to incorporate data storytelling into how their teams communicate
Professionals new to data who want to use AI to help them build effective visuals
Prerequisites
A laptop with Excel installed (Copilot access recommended, but not required)
Open to all levels and job functions, no prior data background required
This is a live, hands-on session and active participation is expected
