From November 9-11, students around the world will immerse themselves in the field of data visualization, catch workshops and presentations from data visualization experts, connect with students from different cities, and collectively work to solve some of the world's most complex issues. Students can participate virtually or at one of our hosted meetups, and we'll be awarding more than $10,000 in prizes. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b>Registration is now open!</b> Last year, the majority of student participants heard about the event from their professors, so we would greatly appreciate if you can spread the word to your students and colleagues.
