Low-Cost Tools for Data Visualization (Free Webinar)

Low-Cost Tools for Data Visualization (Free Webinar)

This is a free webinar from idealware.

Sometimes it's hard to see what makes a program successful—even when it's right there in the data. Great visuals not only look attractive, they can show the story behind the numbers and what really matters. 

During this free webinar we'll share with you the eight priciples of communicating with data—from defining your question to designing simple, clear images. We'll also discuss how to choose your visualization and review useful tools that can help you show your impact—Excel and beyond. By the end of this session you'll have the knowledge you need to create visuals that convince donors, supporters, and your teammates that your work is worth investing in.

Join us for an interactive and informative session led by Laura Quinn, Idealware's founder. Just sign up below!
