Bring Your Own Chart (Workshop: Nov 30 @ 1pm EST)
Bring Your Own Chart
Workshop: November 30 | 1:00–2:30 PM EST | Virtual
Co-sponsored by Pathways and CACUSS
Bring a real visual. Get real feedback. See what happens when your chart gets a fresh set of eyes.
You’ve built the chart. You know the data. But when you’ve been looking at the same visual for hours, it can be surprisingly difficult to see what your audience will actually take away from it.
For the fourth workshop in our Data Storytelling Series, we're doing something a little different: we're working with your charts.
Co-sponsored by Pathways and the Canadian Association of College and University Student Services (CACUSS), this interactive workshop brings together professionals from across all industries and fields who want to make their data clearer, more intentional, and easier to understand.
How It Works
Have a chart or data visual you'd like a fresh perspective on? Send it our way, along with the aggregated data behind it and a little context about what you're hoping to communicate.
Jeff Burrow, PhD, will review submissions and select approximately five visuals to redesign ahead of the workshop.
During the session, we'll:
Review the original together. What's working? What's unclear? What might be getting in the way?
Reveal Jeff's redesign. See the before and after, and hear Jeff explain the choices he made and why.
Learn from every example. Explore how chart type, layout, emphasis, labels and other small decisions can make a surprisingly big difference.
Receive your redesign. Whether or not your chart is featured live, everyone who submits a chart will receive a revised version from Jeff following the workshop.
You don't need to submit a chart to participate. By exploring real examples together, you'll develop a sharper eye for what makes a visual clear, compelling and easier for an audience to understand.
Chart submission deadline: Monday, November 23, 2026.
A quick note about your data: Submitted visuals may be displayed and discussed with other workshop participants. Please remove or anonymize any confidential, sensitive, proprietary or personally identifying information before submitting.
