About the virtual CDVC
What to expect from a CDVC meeting
We aim to make CDVC meetings as useful, insightful and interactive as possible.
The meetings are your chance to interact with the Cambridge Intelligence team and other data visualization practitioners from all over the world.
You’ll have a chance to give feedback on our latest product news and roadmap, and join the conversation. There’ll also be lightning talks from members, sharing their data visualization and analysis experiences.
How will the sessions work?
We’ll run the sessions using Zoom. Let us know in advance if this is going to be a problem for you.
You can ask questions to the presenters throughout using the Q&A and chat features.
