TAF kicks off with a fireside chat with dataviz guru Nadieh Bremer on visual analytics and digital art. Next, “A Conversation on Human-centered AI” with Ben Shneiderman, Emeritus Distinguished Professor, University of Maryland. Shneiderman’s information visualization innovations include dynamic query sliders and multiple coordinated windows for Spotfire, development of treemaps for viewing hierarchical data, and novel network visualizations for NodeXL.  

TIBCO CAO Michael O’Connell will then offer a lively review of recent developments in data and analytics.
