A data pipeline isn't complete until it drives a decision. Visualization is the API for humans.

This month, Adam Conley joins us to dig into common data engineering pain points and how thoughtful data visualization can solve a lot of them. He'll walk through a few real world examples (with fake data) to keep things grounded and interesting.

If you build pipelines, design dashboards, or have ever wondered why stakeholders aren't actually using the reports you've shipped, this one is worth your time.

Adam has held several data visualization roles at Kansas City-area companies, including Cerner, Intouch Group, and currently T-Mobile. Outside of work, he enjoys walking the Trolley Trail, coffee, and Mizzou basketball. Feel free to send a connection request, he always enjoys talking all things data and technology.

​Parking and Access: Parking is free and available in any of the Hive spots on the north side of the lot just east of the building. Enter on the east side near the southwest corner of 7th and Central Street. Take the elevator to the 3rd floor and check in at the registration desk.
