AG Studio x Information is Beautiful workshop.
Dashboards should also be beautiful.
Most dashboards start with the data. The good ones start with a question.
Spend an afternoon with David McCandless of Information is Beautiful learning the concept-driven approach behind his work: how to find the sharp question inside a dataset, and how to turn the answer into something people actually remember.
It's a mix of teaching and hands-on group exercises, and you'll be building in AG Studio and AG Charts.

About AG Studio
AG Studio is our embedded analytics library: dashboards, charts, grids and filters in one component install, built on the same AG Grid and AG Charts engine already running inside products at JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, NASA and Microsoft.
It ships as a JavaScript library with no backend of its own, so it runs client-side in your own environment and none of your data comes near us. Developers set the guardrails once, deciding which data sources, widgets and permissions are in play, and analysts can then build and change dashboards inside those limits without opening a ticket.
Getting a seat
Free and invite-only, capped at a reasonable number so the exercises work properly.
This event is a part of AG Studio Launch Week happening between September 28 and October 3 🔥
