TITLE: "Doing Viz For Social Good - First Datathon in Australia"

In March 2020, close to 40 Brisbane data enthusiasts got together to help Sunny Street make a bit more sense of their data. This was the very first Viz For Social Good Datathon event in Australia, we made history! 



For this datathon, we saw presentations from 15 data volunteers showcasing a range of bus intelligence tech (Tableau, PowerBi...), as well as very interesting presentations from Jason bringing his data engineering & data science background w/ some of Oracle’s data platform. This webinar will retell the events of Viz For Social Good & Jason will elaborate more about the tech behind doing viz for social good.


Viz for Social Good helps mission-driven orgs to promote social good & understand their own data through beautiful & informative data visualisation.
Sunny Street is changing the world by providing healthcare to our community’s most vulnerable people, including homeless people.
