Danni Liu, presenting "Why Some Visualisations Are Instantly Understood"

Why are some charts understood almost instantly while others need explaining, even when they present the same information?

In this session, we'll explore what makes visualisations feel intuitive to the people using them. Through practical examples, we'll look beyond choosing the "right" chart to examine how thoughtful design influences the way people perceive, interpret and act on information.

You'll leave with a fresh perspective on evaluating your own visualisations, along with practical ideas for designing charts and dashboards that are clearer, easier to understand and better support decision-making.
