Data-Viz: April 2008 Archives

I'll be going to a few interesting events in the next two months:

April 26 GoRuCo (Gotham Ruby Conference)

from the site: "A technical conference aimed at highly motivated programmers interested in all things Ruby."

April 30 Visualization Day at CUNY

This looks really interesting, with presentations by Ben Schneiderman and other HCI & Visualization notables. The conference is free, which is always a plus.

May 12 - 14 Where2.0 in Burlingame, CA

I've been wanting to go to this conference for a couple years. Always a great line-up of speakers and lots of interesting people and projects. This year's Where2.0 should be excellent - with all the LBS apps and platforms that are launching.

May 17 Smart/Models (AIGA/NY Biz Conf)

AIGA/NY has put together a great looking conf featuring a diverse group of designers and producers discussing... the biz. I'm especially looking forward to Jason Fried's talk on 37signals' approach. There has been a lot of talk about new business models in the creative space, and this looks to be a great round-up of some super intelligent people with highly innovative ideas and methods.
